Turned L

Turned L (Ꞁ ꞁ) is an additional letter which was used in medieval Welsh and in certain phonetic transcriptions used in German dialectology. Its capital form is also homoglyphic with the letter reversed ge.

Usage

Turned L is used by William Pryce in his Cornish grammar Archæologia Cornu-Britannica published in 1790. It represents the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative used in Welsh. In this work, Pryce also used the additional letters turned A , Chi , Insular D , Insular G , turned Insular G , and Insular T .

In German dialectology, in 1922, Walter Steinhauser uses turned l to represent middle Bavarian l (), a palatal consonant.
