Potential use

User:93.173.144.32 added this following statment in Revision as of 11:50, 1 June 2015:

The letter can potentially be used in Bulgarian to represent /dʒ/, or act as a voiced version of Щ (that represents /ʃt/ as opposed to /ɕɕ/ or /ʃt͡ʃ/ in Bulgarian), replacing the digraph ⟨жд⟩.

An example is the Bulgarian word for birth: "раждане" (razhdane) would become "раҗане".

“Potentially” the letter could represent many things in many languages. I removed the statement instead of asking for a citation as the statement doesn’t actually say such use exists at all. --Moyogo/ (talk) 18:49, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

To extend, for Russian, use for soft long /ʑʑ/ instead of some ⟨зж⟩ and all ⟨жж⟩, Belarussian for /ʐdʐ/ and Ukrainian and Rusyn for /ʒdʒ/, as for those three instead of the trigraph ⟨ждж⟩.

Examples for Russian: визжать would become виҗать and приезжать would become приеҗать, also жужжать would become жуҗать and хаджж would become хадҗ.

Examples for Belarussian: дождж would become доҗ and жджаві́к become җаві́к.

Examples for Ukrainian: дріжджі would become дріҗі and дріжджів would become дріҗів, also виїжджав would become виїҗав, and приїжджих would become приїҗих. Callieson (talk) 05:46, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Uyghur

The letter is also used in Uyghur Cyrillic, pronounced the same as in Turkmen and Kalmyk Oirat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:588B:CA01:CF7:DD2A:7B8C:D6F3 (talk) 21:55, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
