Line 257:
* Before 1945, the letter Ѣ (yat) was used. In eastern dialects, the letter would be pronounced as {{IPA|[ɛ]}} or {{IPA|[ja]}} depending on the context, while in western dialects, it would be pronounced almost exclusively as {{IPA|[ɛ]}}. This led to cases in which words such as млѣко (Modern Bulgarian: мляко) would be pronounced as "mlyako" in the east, but as "mleko" in the west. In 1945, the letter was abolished and replaced by Я or Е, depending on its use in the eastern dialects. The letter is also referred to as "е двойно" (double e).
* Before 1945, the letter Ѫ (big yus) was used. In early Bulgarian, the letter represented the nasal vowel {{IPA|[ɔ̃]}}. By the late 18th century however, the sound had shifted to {{IPA|/ɤ/}}, the same sound as Ъ, and was mostly used in its etymological locations. There are no differences between the two, apart from the fact that Ѫ can be used at the end of words. In 1945, the letter was abolished along with Ѣ (yat) and was replaced by А or Ъ. It is sometimes referred to as "голяма носовка" (big nasal sign) and "ъ широко" (wide ъ).
* For a brief period, the letter Ѭ (iotated big yus) was used, during the use of the [[Marin Drinov|Drinov Orthography]], and represented the sound {{IPA|[jɐ] or /jɤ/}} in words verb conjugations, for example in търпѭ (IPA: {{IPA|/tɐrˈpjɤ/}}). The letter Ѫ was also used for the same purpose alongside
