Template:Cyrillic alphabet navbox Short I (Й, й) is a letter in the Cyrillic alphabet. It is made of the Cyrillic letter И (which resembles reversed Latin capital N), with a breve.

It is also the tenth letter in the Bulgarian alphabet.
It is the fourteenth letter in the Ukrainian alphabet, and in Ukrainian is called Йот, (Yot) or Ий (Yi, pronounced Template:IPA).
Short I represents the semivowel Template:IPA as in English yellow, but appears predominantly in the form of diphthongs like Template:IPA in широкий (wide) Template:IPA in айсберг (iceberg), Template:IPA in долей (portion), and Template:IPA in горой (mountain). It is transliterated as j, y, or i using different romanization systems. See Transliteration of Russian into English and Romanization of Ukrainian.
