U with ogonek (majuscule: Ų, minuscule: ų) is a letter of the Latin alphabet formed by addition of the ogonek to the letter U. It is used in Lithuanian, Interslavic, Chipewyan, Dadibi, Dalecarlian, Gwichʼin, Hän, Iñapari, Kaska, Sierra Otomi, Sekani, Tagish, Tlingit, Tutchone, Winnebago, and Ixtlán Zapotec. == Usage == In Lithuanian, it is the 28th letter of the alphabet, and is pronounced as long close back rounded vowel ([uː]). In the past, the letter was used to denote the nasalized close back rounded vowel ([ũ]). Currently, it appears in the words that used to be nasalized in the past, for example in siųsti, which means send.
It is used in Interslavic to denote the etymological presence of a big yus, which evolved into different sounds in Polish and Bulgarian compared to the other Slavic languages. The pronunciation ([o] ~ [ʊ]) depends on the accent of the speaker.
