In Spanish, {{angbr|ll}} was considered from 1754 to 2010 the fourteenth letter of the [[Spanish alphabet]] because of its representation of a palatal lateral articulation consonant phoneme (as defined by the [[Royal Academy of the Spanish Language]]).<ref>Real Academia Española y Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española, Ortografía de la lengua española (2010), tapa rústica, primera edición impresa en México, Editorial Planeta Mexicana, S.A. de C.V., bajo el sello editorial ESPASA M.R., México D.F., marzo de 2011, páginas 64 y 65.</ref>
* This single letter was called {{lang|es|elle}} pronounced "elye", but often losing the /l/ sound and simplifying to "eh-ye".
* The letter was [[collation|collated]] after {{angbr|[[l]]}} as a separate entry from 1803 until April 1994 when the X Congress of the [[Association of Spanish Language Academies]] adopted standard Latin alphabet collation rules. Since then, the digraph {{angbr|ll}} has been considered a sequence of two characters.<ref>[http://www.asale.org/la-asociacion/actividad-institucional/x-congreso-madrid-1994 X Congreso (Madrid, 1994)], official website.</ref> (A similar situation occurred with the Spanish-language digraph [[ch (digraph)|ch]].)
* [[Hypercorrection]] leads some to wrongly capitalize {{angbr|ll}} as a single letter, as with the [[Dutch language|Dutch]] [[IJ (letter)|IJ]], for example *{{lang|es|LLosa}} instead of {{lang|es|[[Llosa (disambiguation)|Llosa]]}}. In [[handwriting]], {{angbr|Ll}} is written as a [[Typographic ligature|ligature]] of two {{angbr|l}}s, with distinct uppercase and lowercase forms.
* Today, most Spanish speakers pronounce {{angbr|ll}} and {{angbr|y}} as the same sound, a phenomenon called [[yeísmo]]. In much of the Spanish-speaking Americas, and in many regions of Spain, {{angbr|ll}} and {{angbr|y}} are pronounced {{IPA|/ʝ/}} ([[voiced palatal fricative]]); speakers in [[Colombian Spanish|Colombia]] and [[Tabasco]], [[Mexico]], as well as [[Rioplatense Spanish|Rioplatense]] speakers in both [[Argentina]] and [[Uruguay]], pronounce {{angbr|ll}} and {{angbr|y}} as {{IPA|/ʒ/}} ([[voiced postalveolar fricative]]) or {{IPA|/ʃ/}} ([[voiceless postalveolar fricative]]). The original pronunciation of {{angbr|ll}} —the phoneme {{IPA|/ʎ/}} ([[palatal lateral approximant]])— still exists in northern Spain (mostly in rural areas) and in Andes Mountains. In parts of Colombia and in the Andean regions of Ecuador, {{angbr|ll}} is pronounced {{IPA|/ʒ/}} but {{angbr|y}} is pronounced {{IPA|/ʝ/}}.
