Je (Ј ј; italics: Ј ј) is a letter of the Cyrillic script, taken over from the Latin letter J. [1]

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

History

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/
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/ in Vuk 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.
