Use

It is the 9th letter in the Lithuanian alphabet and is also used in the Potawatomi language[1] and the Cheyenne language.

It was coined by Daniel Klein, the author of the first printed grammar of the Lithuanian language, Grammatica Litvanica (1653).[2][3]

Its pronunciation in Lithuanian is [], contrasting with ę, which is pronounced a lower [ɛː] (formerly nasalized [ɛ̃ː]) and e, pronounced [ɛ, ɛː].

The character is also used in Croatian to denote the old yat, alongside the more usual ě.

Transliteration

This character is also used in strict Library of Congress transliteration in transliterating the Cyrillic letter Э э into the Latin alphabet.
