Ӕ ӕ is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet now used in Ossetic to represent the near-open front unrounded vowel /æ/. The letter has been first used in the Sjögren Cyrillic alphabet and appeared in first fiction and poetry books, published at the beginning of the 20th century. Ossetic used the Latin alphabet for some time, where it preserved the letter æ, and the digraph æ (the Latin letter ash) was taken over in the re-shift to Cyrillic. This ligature was also used in Chukchi until 1940.
