Cyrillic letter
Cyrillic letter Dzzhe Phonetic usage: [d͡ʒ ]
Dzzhe (Ԫ ԫ; italics: Ԫ ԫ ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script . The shape of the letter originated as a ligature of the Cyrillic letters De (Д д Д д ) and Zhe (Ж ж Ж ж ).
Dzzhe is used in the old Komi and Ossetic languages, as well as in Grigoriy Vereshchagin 's 1895 Udmurt alphabet . It was later abandoned, possibly due to it looking too much like "дк".[original research? ] It was also used in D. V. Khitrov's Yakut alphabet from 1858 to 1917, corresponding to Дь.
It is used to distinguish the affricate /d͜ʒ/ from the sequence d-ž in some phonetic dictionaries.[ 1]
Usage
This letter represents the voiced palato-alveolar affricate /d͡ʒ/ (j as in jam). It can be romanized as ⟨dž⟩.
