Ƚ

Ƚƚ

The Ƚ ( lower case ƚ) is a letter of the Latin writing system . It consists of an L / l with a horizontal line .

The letter is used in the 1978 Saanich spelling for a voiceless lateral alveolar fricative (IPA: ɬ ). The lower case letter is used as a phonetic symbol for the same sound.

The Ƚ is also part of the Venetian alphabet. The sound assigned to it there has no equivalent in IPA , but is similar to a voiced palatal approximant.

In Kobon , the Ƚ is used for a very rare retroflex lateral flap that cannot be visualized in IPA .
