Ł
From Freepedia
Ł or ł, described in English as L with stroke, is a letter of the Polish, Kashubian, Sorbian, Łacinka (Latin Belarusian), and Navajo alphabets. Except for Navajo, it represents the Lechitic/East Slavic continuation of Proto-Slavic non-palatal l (see dark L).
Ł first appeared in the 16th century, in Polish texts.
In modern Polish, ł is normally pronounced /w/ (almost exactly as w in English as a consonant, as in were, will, firewall but not as in new or straw). However, the old pronunciation is preserved in eastern part of Poland and among the Polish minority in Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine.
In Navajo, ł is used for a voiceless alveolar lateral fricative (ɬ).
