I with ogonek (majuscule: Į, minuscule: į) is a letter of the Latin alphabet formed by addition of the ogonek to the letter I. It is used in Lithuanian, Western Apache, Chipewyan, Mescalero-Chiricahua, Muscogee, Dadibi, Dalecarlian, Gwichʼin, Hän, Iñapari, Kaska, Navajo, Sierra Otomi, Sekani, Tagish, Tlingit, Tutchone, Winnebago, Assiniboine, Mandan, Osage, Tutelo, Catawba, and Ixtlán Zapotec.
== Usage == In Lithuanian, it is the 14th letter of the alphabet, and is pronounced as long close front unrounded vowel ([iː]). In the past, the letter was used to denote the nasalized close front unrounded vowel ([ĩ]). Currently, it appears in the words that used to be nasalized in the past, for example in įkalnė, which means uphill.
