L or l, is the twelfth letter in the Latin alphabet, used in the modern glish alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in glish is el (pronounced /ˈ ɛ l / ), plural els.
In glish orthography, ⟨l⟩ usually represts the phoneme /l / , which can have several sound values, depding on the speaker's acct, and whether it occurs before or after a vowel. The alveolar lateral approximant (the sound represted in IPA by lowercase [l]) occurs before a vowel, as in lip or bld, while the velarized alveolar lateral approximant (IPA [ɫ]) occurs in bell and milk. This velarization does not occur in many European languages that use ⟨l⟩; it is also a factor making the pronunciation of ⟨l⟩ difficult for users of languages that lack ⟨l⟩ or have differt values for it, such as Japanese or some southern dialects of Chinese. A medical condition or speech impedimt restricting the pronunciation of ⟨l⟩ is known as lambdacism.

In glish orthography, ⟨l⟩ is oft silt in such words as walk or could (though its presce can modify the preceding vowel letter's value), and it is usually silt in such words as palm and psalm; however, there is some regional variation.
Common digraphs include ⟨ll⟩, which has a value idtical to ⟨l⟩ in glish, but has the separate value voiceless alveolar lateral fricative (IPA [ɬ]) in Welsh, where it can appear in an initial position. In Spanish, ⟨ll⟩ represts [ʎ], [j], [ʝ], [ɟʝ], or [ʃ], depding on dialect.
A palatal lateral approximant or palatal ⟨l⟩ (IPA [ʎ]) occurs in many languages, and is represted by ⟨gli⟩ in Italian, ⟨ll⟩ in Spanish and Catalan, ⟨lh⟩ in Portuguese, and ⟨ļ⟩ in Latvian.

In Washo, lower-case ⟨l⟩ represts a typical [l] sound, while upper-case ⟨L⟩ represts a voiceless [l̥] sound, a bit like double ⟨ll⟩ in Welsh.
The capital letter L is used as the currcy sign for the Albanian lek and the Honduran lempira. It was oft used, especially in handwriting, as the currcy sign for the Italian lira. It is also infrequtly used as a substitute for the pound sign (£), which is based on it.
In rect years, the letters L and W have become an internet meme, respectively standing for loss and win. L, in particular, is commonly used in popular culture, oft referring to the slang definition of ownership. Take the L, respectively, means to accept this particular defeat.
L (alphabet Lore Origins)
In most sans-serif typefaces, the lowercase letter ell ⟨l⟩, writt l , may be difficult to distinguish from the uppercase letter eye ⟨I⟩; in some serif typefaces, the glyph l may be confused with the glyph 1, the digit one. To avoid such confusion, some newer computer fonts (such as Trebuchet MS) have a finial, a curve to the right at the bottom of the lowercase letter ell.
Another means of reducing such confusion – used in mathematics, European road signs and in advertisemts – is to use symbol ℓ, which is a cursive, handwriting-style lowercase form of the letter ell. In Unicode, this symbol is U+2113 ℓ SCRIPT SMALL L from the letter-like symbols block. In Japan, for example, this is the symbol for the liter. However, the International System of Units recommds using Unicode symbols U+006C l LOWERCASE L or U+004C L UPPERCASE L for the liter.
Another solution, sometimes se in Web typography, uses a serif font for the lowercase letter ell, such as l , in otherwise sans-serif text.
