Lj (digraph)

Lj is a letter present in orthographies of some Slavic languages, such as Gaj's Latin alphabet used by Serbo-Croatian and in romanised Macedonian, where it represents a palatal lateral approximant. For example, the word ljiljan is pronounced. Most languages containing the letter ⟨Lj⟩ in the alphabet are phonemic, which means that every symbol represents one sound, and is always pronounced the same way. In this case, joining the letters L and J creates a new letter or a sound. The digraph is treated as a single letter, and therefore it has its own place in the alphabet, takes up only one space in crossword puzzles and is written in line in vertical text. However, it is not found on standard computer keyboards. Like its Latin counterpart, the Cyrillic alphabet has a specific symbol for the same sound: Љ.
