Soft Sign (Ь, ь) is a letter in the Cyrillic alphabet (Russian: мягкий знак (mĭahkij znak) [mʲȧçkə: znak], Ukrainian: м’який знак (mjakyj znak) [mjakɪi̯ znak], Belarusian: мяккі знак (miakki znak) [mʲakʲ:i znak]). It is named so because it usually indicates softening, or palatalization, of the preceding consonant or of the group of them.
