English doesn't have [a], though it does have [A]
and [{]. It doesn't seem to be easy for native English
speakers to produce, as generally when they try to produce
it (e.g. in pronouncing Spanish words) they come up with,
surprise surprise, [A] or [{] (in America, usually the
former).

Ancient Greek, among others.
