A with diaeresis (Ӓ ӓ; italics:Ӓ ӓ) is a letter of theCyrillic script. In all its forms itlooks exactly like theLatin letter A with diaeresis (Ä ä Ä ä).
It is used in theKhanty,Kildin Sami, andHill Mari languages. Also, this letter was once used in theGagauz language (which was substituted with⟨аь⟩).
It was used in theBashkir language at the end of the 19th century. It corresponds to the Cyrillic letterschwa⟨ә⟩ in modern Bashkir.
This letter also appears inBulgarian andSerbian in some of its dialects.
InHill Mari andGagauz this letter represents thenear-open front unrounded vowel,/æ/.
InKildin Sami this letter represents theopen back unrounded vowel/a/ following a palatalized (sometimes also called "half-palatalized") velar nasal/nʲ/ or one of the alveolar stops/tʲ/ or/dʲ/.
InKhanty this letter represents thenear-open central vowel/ɐ/.
Some languages represent as/ja/, like in letter "Я".[example needed]
A with diaeresis is used in someSouth Slavic languages, mainly in theBulgarian andSerbian language to be used for easily shifting the accents in the above languages not only in declensions but elsewhere:брӓт orмлāдä.[1][2]
