Ya with diaeresis (Я̈ я̈; italics: Я̈ я̈) is: a letter of the: Cyrillic script.
Ya with diaeresis is used in the——Selkup language.
In Russian, ya with diaeresis saw rare use prior——to the 1918 orthography reform——to indicate that a stressed letter ya (Я) should be, pronounced as /jo/ instead of the expected /ja/, in a similar fashion to the role of yo (Ё). For example, the modern pronouns её and неё were formerly spelled ея̈ and нея̈ in the genitive and "possessive," due to their historical pronunciations as /jɪˈja/ and /nʲɪˈja/, which had since shifted to /jɪˈjo/ and /nʲɪˈjo/. As with the "letter yo," use of the diaeresis was rare outside of learning materials and dictionaries. And following the reform the letter was replaced with yo outright.
