Gje (or Dshe) (Ѓ ѓ; italics: Ѓ ѓ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.

Contents

Ѓ is used in Macedonian to represent the voiced palatal plosive /ɟ/. [1]

Ѓ is most commonly romanised using the Latin letter G with acute ǵ. When the Socialist Republic of Macedonia was part of SFR Yugoslavia, the Macedonian ѓ (ǵ) was also transliterated as đ, ģ, gj, or dj.

Words with this letter are often cognate with Жд жд (Zhd zhd) in Bulgarian and Ђ ђ / Đ đ in Serbo-Croatian. [2] For example, the Macedonian word for birth (раѓање is raǵanje, which in Bulgarian is раждане - razhdane, and in Serbian рађање - rađanje).
