Ь (lower caseь)
- (obsolete)A letter of theUnified Northern Alphabet,Yañalif and similar Latin orthographies, used during the short-lived SovietLatinization campaign of the 1930s.
Languages with this letter were Altai (Oyrot), Bashkir, Cherkes, Chukchi, Crimean Tatar, Dungan, Kabardin, Kazakh, Kalmuk, Karakalpak, Karachay, Ket, Khakass, Khanty, Koryak, Kurdish, Kyrgyz, Mansi, Nogai, Oyrot, Permiak, Selkup, Tabasaran, Tatar and Turkmen.
When⟨Ь,ь⟩ was used in Latin alphabets, small-capital⟨ʙ⟩ was used as the lower-case form of⟨B⟩.
In most languages,⟨Ь, ь⟩ was pronounced[ɨ] or[ɯ], corresponding to Anatolian Turkish⟨İ⟩. The exception was Kalmuk, where it had its Cyrillic sound value of palatalization.
