Je (Ј, ј) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, used in the Serbian, Macedonian, Azeri, and Altai languages. It replaced the traditional Cyrillic accented и (й) in Vuk Karadžić's alphabet, which invited accusations of submission to the Latin script and Catholic Church (in Austria) from the Orthodox clergy.
Phonetic value
In Serbian, Macedonian and Azeri this letter is pronounced as the palatal approximant, /j/.
It is also used in the Altai language to represent the voiced postalveolar affricate, /ʤ/.
