Ye, or E (Е, е), is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet. It looks exactly like the Latin letter E. In Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, and Ukrainian, it is called E, and represents the vowel /e/ or /ɛ/. It is derived from Greek epsilon (Ε, ε).

In Belarusian and Russian, it is called Ye and represents a palatalizing vowel, that is, it modifies the letter before it but is otherwise no different from the sound it represents in languages like Bulgarian or Ukrainian. Ukrainian uses Є to represent a palatalizing E.
