Ly is a digraph of the Latin alphabet, used in Hungarian. {{Hungarian language}}UsageLy is the twentieth letter of the Hungarian alphabet. Its Hungarian name is elipszilon {{IPA|/ɛlːipsilon/}} or ely {{IPA|/ɛjː/}} (sometimes spelled ej). Now, it represents the same phoneme {{IPA|/j/}} (palatal approximant) as the Hungarian letter j, but historically, it represented the different phoneme {{IPA|/ʎ/}} (palatal lateral approximant). It is used this way only in Hungarian. In Hungarian, even if two characters are put together to make a different sound, they are considered one letter, and even acronyms keep the letter intact. The combination lj (considered two separate letters, L and J) is also common in Hungarian and is even pronounced {{IPA|/ʎ/}} by many speakers. However, even it is sometimes subject to the same reduction to /j/ that ly has been, mainly if it is at the end of a word. HistoryOriginally, the digraph letter ly was used to represent the palatal lateral {{IPA|/ʎ/}}, just as the digraph letter ny is still used to represent the palatal nasal {{IPA|/ɲ/}}. However, in the eastern dialects as well as in the standard dialect, the phoneme {{IPA|/ʎ/}} lost its lateral feature and merged with {{IPA|/j/}} (akin to Spanish yeísmo). The Hungarian letter ly came to be pronounced the same as the Hungarian letter j. In the western dialects, {{IPA|/ʎ/}} lost its palatal feature and merged with {{IPA|/l/}} (alveolar lateral approximant). In the northern dialects, the phoneme {{IPA|/ʎ/}} has been preserved.[1] The digraph ly was also used for the sound {{IPA|/ʎ/}} in Croatian alphabet before Gaj's Latin Alphabet was introduced.[2] ExamplesThese examples are Hungarian words that use the letter ly, with the English translation following:
