Ľ

Ľ (minuscule: ľ) is a grapheme found officially in the Slovak alphabet and in some versions of the Ukrainian Latin alphabet.

It is an L with a caron diacritical mark, more normally ˇ but simplified to look like an apostrophe with L, and is pronounced as palatal lateral approximant [ʎ], similar to the "lj-" sound in Ljubljana or million.

[1] Examples include: Note that an approximation using an ' apostrophe is sometimes found in some English texts, for example "L'udovit Stur" [sic] for correct Slovak Ľ-caron in Ľudovít Štúr.

⟨Ľ⟩ appears in some versions of the Ukrainian Latin Alphabet (Latynka), such as Jireček and Luchuk.
