Ľ (minuscule: ľ) is a grapheme found officially in the Slovak alphabet. It is an L with a caron diacritical mark, 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.
Examples include:
An approximation using an apostrophe ' is sometimes found in some English texts, for example "L'udovit Stur" instead of the correct Slovak L-caron in Ľudovít Štúr. This incorrect usage is sometimes the result of an OCR error.
