Ḷ (minuscule: ḷ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from L with a diacritical dot below. It is or was used in some languages to represent various sounds.
- In Asturian language two letters (Ḷḷ, minuscule: ḷḷ) are used to represent some western dialectal sounds related with standard ll (representing a palatal lateral approximant [ʎ]). Among this group of dialectal pronunciations, usually called che vaqueira could appears basically: a voiced retroflex plosive [ɖ], a voiced retroflex affricate [dʐ], a voiceless retroflex affricate [tʂ] and a voiceless alveolar affricate [t͡s]. Formerly, this group of sounds were represented as lh (Fernan Coronas proposed writing system), ts or ŝ. However, this grapheme is only used in dialectal texts and in western Asturias toponymy. Because of the difficulties of writing it in digital texts, non-diacritical l.l (majuscule: L.l) is also often used.
Asturian is a Romance language, spoken in the Spanish province of Asturias.
