Template:Distinguish2 Ľ/ľ is a grapheme found only in the Slovak alphabet. It is an L with a caron diacritical mark, more normally ˇ but simplified to look like an apostrophe with L, and is pronounced as palatal lateral approximant [ʎ], similar to the "lj-" sound in Ljubljana or million.[1]
Examples:
- podnikateľ: "businessman"; skladateľ: "composer"; bádateľ: "researcher"
- ľalia: "Lilium"; ľan: "linen"; ľuľkovec zlomocný: "Atropa belladonna"
- ľad: "ice"; ľadovec: "iceberg"
- Poľana, mountain range in Central Slovakia; Sečovská Poľanka, historical name for village Sečovská Polianka in Eastern Slovakia used from 1920 until 1948
- Ján Figeľ, Slovak politician who was European Commissioner for Education, Training and Culture from 2004 to 2009; Jozef Ľupták, teacher who took part in the Slovak National Uprising and was killed in action on October 27, 1944
Note that an approximation using an ' apostrophe is sometimes found in some English texts, for example "L'udovit Stur" (sic) for correct Slovak Ľ-caron in Ľudovít Štúr. This incorrect usage is sometimes the result of an OCR error.
