Ï
Template:Short description Template:Redirect Template:For-multi Template:Infobox grapheme Ï, lowercase ï, is a symbol used in various languages written with the Latin alphabet; the Latin letter I with a diacritic of two dots, which may be read as I with diaeresis.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Initially in French and also in Afrikaans, Catalan, Dutch, Galician, Southern Sami, Welsh, and rarely English, Template:Angle bracket is used when Template:Angle bracket follows another vowel and indicates hiatus in the pronunciation of such a word. It indicates that the two vowels are pronounced in separate syllables, rather than together as a diphthong or digraph. For example, French maïs (Template:IPA; "maize"); without the diaeresis, the Template:Angle bracket is part of the digraph Template:Angle bracket: mais (Template:IPA; "but"). The letter is also used in the same context in Dutch, as in Oekraïne (Template:IPA *Template:IPA; "Ukraine"), and English naïve (Template:IPAc-en Template:Respell or Template:IPAc-en Template:Respell).
In scholarly writing on Turkic languages, Template:Angbr is sometimes used to write the close back unrounded vowel Template:IPA, which, in the standard modern Turkish alphabet, is written as the dotless i Template:Angbr.<ref>Marcel Erdal, A Grammar of Old Turkic, Handbook of Oriental Studies 3, Template:ISBN, 2004, p. 52</ref> The back neutral vowel reconstructed in Proto-Mongolic is sometimes written Template:Angbr.<ref>Juha Janhunen, ed., The Mongolic Languages Template:ISBN, p. 5</ref>
In the transcription of Amazonian languages, Template:Angbr is used to represent the high central vowel Template:IPAblink.
