Gj (letter)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gj is a digraph of the Latin Alphabet that appears as a distinct letter in the Albanian alphabet, 11th in order, as well as in the Norwegian and Swedish languages.
In Albanian it is used the represent the Voiced palatal plosive [ɟ], though Gheg speakers mostly pronounce it as /dʒ/. In the Arbëresh variety it represents the sound Voiced velar plosive [ɡʲ]. The sound gj derived mainly from gl (gluha), which turned into gi or g (giuha, guha), as it may be found today in Gheg, and eventually into gj (gjuha) in Tosk and Standard Albanian.
In Norwegian and Swedish, it is found in words like "gjøre" / "gjöra" ('to do') and "igjen" ('again'). It is pronounced as the palatal approximant [j].
It is also used in Romanisation of Macedonian as a Latin equivalent of the Cyrillic letter Ѓ.
