Zje (З́ з́; italics:З́ з́) is a letter of theCyrillic script, formed from theCyrillic Ze (З зЗ з) with the addition of anacute accent. It is used in theMontenegrin alphabet. It represents thevoiced alveolo-palatal fricative /ʑ/. It corresponds to theLatinŹ.
One of the first observations of the sound /ʑ/ in Montenegrin, was made by Vuk Karadžić in 1818, in his article "Srpski rječnik istolkovan njemačkim i latinskim riječima" in which he notes that Herzegovians (a cultural region which stretches over Montenegro, thus presumably he also referred to Montenegrins considering he notes words such as iźeo, which are present in Montenegro but not in Herzegovina):"Ercegovci, kašto izgovaraju s pred j kao Poljsko ś, a z kao ź, n. p. sjekira, sjutra, izjeo..." First instance of usage of the accented Cyrillic letter з́ was in 1926. by Danilo Vušović.[1] It came into official use in mid-2009, with the adoption of theLaw on the Official Language in Montenegro.
The letter originates fromrural areas in Montenegro.[citation needed]
Being a relatively recent letter, not present in any legacy 8-bit Cyrillic encoding, the letter З́ is not represented directly by aprecomposed character inUnicode either; it has to becomposed asЗ+◌́ (U+0301).
