Ė
Ė ė is a letter of the Latin script, the letter E with a dot above.
Use
It is the 9th
Colognian language of Cologne, Germany, and in the Potawatomi language[citation needed] and the Cheyenne language[citation needed
].
It was coined by Daniel Klein, the author of the first printed grammar of the Lithuanian language, Grammatica Litvanica (1653).[1][2]
Its pronunciation in Lithuanian is [eː], contrasting with ę, which is pronounced a lower [ɛː] (formerly nasalized [ɛ̃ː]) and e, pronounced [ɛ, ɛː].
The character is also used in Croatian to denote the old yat, alongside the more usual ě.
Transliteration
This character is also used in strict Library of Congress transliteration in transliterating the Cyrillic letter Э э into the Latin alphabet.
