Usage and pronunciation of accented L letters

The most celebrated accented L is the Polish ł (L with stroke). In modern Polish, ł represents a labio-velar approximant identical to the English 'w' sound in water, as seen in famous names like Łódź and Wałęsa. In historical Slavic and Kashubian phonology, it represented a dark, velarized lateral consonant.

Slovak and Czech use the acute accent (ĺ) for a syllabic long lateral consonant, and the caron (ľ) for a palatalized lateral. Latvian uses the cedilla (ļ) to indicate consonant palatalization, while Catalan uses the middle dot (ŀ) in the digraph ela geminada (l·l) to denote a geminate double L.
