## Bulgarian
### Etymology

From Old Church Slavonic ѣть (ětĭ).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: [ja̟t]
* Homophone: яд (jad)

### Noun

ят • (jat) m (relational adjective я́тов)
* (linguistics) Yat: a former letter of the Bulgarian alphabet, representing a sound between [æ] and [ɛ] and written as Ѣ/ѣ.
    Synonym: е дво́йно (e dvójno)
    Ят е стара буква в българския език и вече не се ползва в новия правопис.Jat e stara bukva v bǎlgarskija ezik i veče ne se polzva v novija pravopis.Yat is an old letter of the Bulgarian language and is no longer used in the new orthography.

#### Usage notes

* Its pronunciation in modern Bulgarian varies between that of я (ja) and е (e), e.g. млѣко (mlěko) is realized either as мляко (mljako) or млеко (mleko).
* The pronunciation of yat forms a major isogloss between Western and Eastern varieties of Bulgarian: in Western ones, it came to be pronounced as е (e), whereas in Eastern ones, as я (ja). Standard Bulgarian incorporates a mixture of both pronunciations in words that feature it.
* In Standard Bulgarian, words that historically had yat in their root are pronounced using я (ja) in their lemma form, but using е (e) in plural forms: for instance, млѣко (mlěko) is rendered as мляко (mljako) in the singular, but млека́ (mleká) in the plural.
