Ḷ

● Article ● Talk ● Language ● Watch ● Edit

Ḷ (minuscule: ḷ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from L with a diacritical dot below. It is or was used in some languages to represent various sounds.

InAsturian, a digraph (Ḷḷ, lower case: ḷḷ) is used to represent some western dialectal phonemes corresponding to standard ll (representing a palatal lateral approximant [ʎ]).^[1]^[2] Among this group of dialectal pronunciations, usually called che vaqueira, can manifest as: a voiced retroflex plosive [ɖ], a voiced retroflex affricate [ɖʐ], a voiceless retroflex affricate [ʈʂ] or a voiceless alveolar affricate [t͡s].^[3] Formerly, this group of sounds were represented as lh (inFernán Coronas's proposed writing system), tsorŝ. However, this grapheme is used only in dialectal texts and in toponyms of western Asturias.^[4] Because of the difficulties of writing it in digital texts, non-diacritical l.l (majuscule: L.l) is also often used.^[5]

In the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration, ḷ is used to represent vocalic /l/.

It is used to represent a retroflex lateral approximant /ɭ/ in several modern language of South Asia when using ISO 15919 or similar transliteration schemes.

It is used to represent a voiced palatal lateral approximant [ʎ] in Iñupiaq.
