The following
multigraphs are used in the
Cyrillic script. The
palatalized consonants of
Russian and other languages written as C-⟨ь⟩ are mostly predictable and therefore not included here unless they are irregular. Likewise, in the
languages of the Caucasus, there are numerous other predictable multigraphs that are not included. These include doubled letters (or whole digraphs) that indicate '
tense' ('strong') consonants and
long vowels; sequences with ⟨в⟩, ⟨у⟩, ⟨ә⟩ for
labialized consonants; and sequences with ⟨ӏ⟩ or ⟨ъ⟩ for
ejective consonants or
pharyngealized consonants and vowels.
Tatar also has discontinuous digraphs. See
Cyrillic digraphs for examples.

Also found in several other languages where ⟨у⟩ is used for
labialization (though this is a predictable effect of
assimilation, and therefore does not result in a true digraph).
Russian: usually not a digraph, and pronounced [ʐd] (palatalized to [ʐdʲ] before ⟨ь⟩ and palatalizing vowels). However, in the word дождь ("rain") and its derivatives, the conservative Moscow pronunciation uses the sound [
ʑː] (devoiced to [
ɕː] in the nominative singular of дождь). The unpalatalized pronunciation [
ʐː] in these words (unlike words with ⟨жж⟩ or ⟨зж⟩) is uncommon and considered nonstandard.
Russian: usually not a digraph, and pronounced [
ʐː]. However, the conservative Moscow pronunciation uses the sound [
ʑː] (though this is becoming increasingly outdated).[1]
