Gje
Template:Short description Template:About Template:Infobox grapheme
Gje (or Template:Not a typo) (Ѓ ѓ; italics: Ѓ ѓ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.
Ѓ is used in Macedonian to represent the voiced palatal plosive {{#invoke:IPA|main}}.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Ѓ is most commonly romanised using the Latin letter G with acute Template:Angbr. When the Socialist Republic of Macedonia was part of SFR Yugoslavia, the Macedonian {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (Template:Transliteration) was also transliterated as đ, ģ, gj, or dj.
Words with this letter are often cognate with {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (Template:Transliteration) in Bulgarian and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} in Serbo-Croatian.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> For example, the Macedonian word for birth ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}} is Template:Transliteration, which in Bulgarian is {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} - Template:Transliteration, and in Serbian {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}).
