Lambda (, ) is an additional letter of the Latin script, based on the lowercase letter lambda from the Greek alphabet (λ). It is used in Heiltsuk, Liqʼwala, Kwakʼwala, and Pilagá. In these languages, Latin lambda represents a variety of lateral phonemes. The lower-case variant is a homoglyph of lower-case lambda. The upper-case is a large variant of the lower case in Pilagá but a turned Y in North America.
