El with tail (Ӆ ӆ; italics:Ӆ ӆ) is a letter of theCyrillic script. Its form is derived from theCyrillic letter el (Л л) by adding a tail to the right leg.
El with tail is used in the alphabet of theKildin Sami language, where it is located between⟨Л⟩ and⟨М⟩. This letter represents thevoiceless alveolar lateral fricative/ɬ/, like the pronunciation of⟨ll⟩ in theWelsh language.
In theKhanty language, it is sometimes used as a substitute forԮ, while in theItelmen language, it is sometimes used as a substitute forԒ, in both cases also to represent/ɬ/.
