It commonly represents the palatal approximant /j/, like the pronunciation of ⟨y⟩ in "yes".

History

edit

The Cyrillic letter ј was introduced in the 1818 Serbian dictionary of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, on the basis of the Latin letter j.^[1] Karadžić had previously used ї instead for the same sound, a usage he took from Dositej Obradović,^[2] and the final choice also notably edged out another expected candidate, й, used in every other standard Slavic-language Cyrillic script.

Usage

An asterisk (*) means the language does not use the letter in its orthography anymore.

Language	pronunciation	notes
Altai	voiced palatal plosive /ɟ~dz/
Azerbaijani	/j/	corresponds to ⟨y⟩ in the official Latin alphabet.
Kildin Sami	voiceless palatal approximant /j̊/	the letter Short I with tail (Ҋ ҋ) is also used.
Macedonian	/j/	Prior to the development of the Macedonian alphabet in 1944–45, Macedonian authors used either І і or Й й.^[3]
Orok	/j/
Ossetian*	/j/	used in the original (pre-1923) Cyrillic orthography.
Serbian	/j/	inVuk Karadžić's alphabet, the letter Je replaced the traditional letter Short I (Й й), which invited accusations of submission to the Latin script and Catholic Church (in Austria) from the Orthodox clergy.
