El with tail (Ӆ ӆ; italics: Ӆ ӆ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter el (Л л) by adding a tail to the right leg.
El with tail is used in the alphabet of the Kildin Sami language, where it is located between ⟨Л⟩ and ⟨М⟩. This letter represents the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative /ɬ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨ll⟩ in the Welsh language.
In the Khanty language, it is sometimes used as a substitute for Ԯ, while in the Itelmen language, it is sometimes used as a substitute for Ԓ, in both cases also to represent /ɬ/.
