Latin letter broken L
Apparently, there exists a letter "broken L". It is in Unicode as "Latin capital letter broken L" and "Latin small letter broken L". What is this letter used for, and how is it pronounced? 32.219.123.165 (talk) 09:14, 18 June 2022 (UTC)


 * L states Ꝇ and ꝇ were used in some medieval Nordic manuscripts. The article's reference,, states that broken L is used to represent /l:/ (long "l"), and includes examples. Bazza (talk) 09:53, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Russian translation question
There are two pictures of a mobile sauna in Espoo, Finland at the Russian Wikipedia in this article. Their captions read: Google Translate translates these as "Untrashost mobile sauna is dangerous for a friend." and "The private sauna is protected from the joke." This doesn't make much sense. Obviously Google Translate is not capable of making a perfect translations. Could anyone who understands Russian translate these captions better? J I P &#124; Talk 16:20, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Унутрашњост мобилне сауне уграђене у приколицу.
 * Покретна сауна уграђена у приколицу.


 * Try Serbian, not Russian:
 * Interior of a mobile sauna built into the trailer.
 * Moving sauna built into the trailer.
 * I put it to you that you weren't looking at the page you linked to at all (because it doesn't exist) but in fact sr:Финска сауна. Card Zero  (talk) 17:23, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Good call, thanks. I must have mistaken the language as I don't understand either Russian or Serbian. J I P  &#124; Talk 17:29, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "Sausages and beer are traditional refreshments after the sauna." It's a hard life. Card Zero  (talk) 17:36, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The letters њ and ђ do not exist in Russian. ColinFine (talk) 22:23, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
