- Source: 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 /ɬ/ used in Welsh. In this work, Pryce also used the additional letters turned A ⟨Ɐ ɐ⟩, Chi ⟨Χ χ⟩, Insular D ⟨Ꝺ ꝺ⟩, Insular G ⟨Ᵹ ᵹ⟩, turned Insular G ⟨Ꝿ ꝿ⟩, and Insular T ⟨Ꞇ ꞇ⟩.
In German dialectology, in 1922, Walter Steinhauser uses turned l ⟨ꞁ⟩ to represent middle Bavarian l (donaubairische l), a palatal consonant.
