El (Л, л) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, representing the consonant /l/ unless it comes before a palatalizing vowel when it represents /lʲ/; except in Serbian language, where always represents /l/ (a separate letter represents /lʲ/ . It is descended from the Greek letter lambda. The letter is not to be confused with the capital printed Pe, which has both left and right legs straight. It is the twelfth letter of the Bulgarian alphabet the thirteenth letter of the Russian alphabet.
In Bulgarian, the more common pronunciation of Л is /ɫ/, as in the English pronunciation of "yell"; it is only pronounced /l/, as in "yellow", when preceeding е or и (and /lʲ/ when palatalized). In modern usage, especially among the younger generation, the /ɫ/ pronunciation often gets corrupted into /w/ (compare Polish Ł). The name of the letter in Bulgarian is "лъ" [ɫə].
