Ae (Ӕ ӕ; italics: Ӕ ӕ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script, used exclusively in the Ossetian language to represent a near-open central vowel /ɐ/ in the Iron dialect and an open-mid back unrounded vowel /ʌ/ in the Digor dialect; both vowels are similar to the pronunciation of ⟨u⟩ in English "up". Its ISO 9 transliteration is ⟨æ⟩ but some transliteration schemes may render it as ⟨ä⟩.
