El with tail is used in the alphabet of the Kildin Sami language, where it is located between ⟨Л⟩ and ⟨М⟩. This letter represents the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative /ɬ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨ll⟩ in the Welsh language.
In the Khanty language, it is sometimes used as a substitute for Ԯ, while in the Itelmen language, it is sometimes used as a substitute for Ԓ, in both cases also to represent /ɬ/.
