| Urdu pronunciation: [ˈbəɽiː ˈjeː]; lit. "greater ye") is a letter in the Urdu alphabet (and other Indo-Iranian language alphabets based on it) directly based on the alternative "returned" variant of the final form of the Arabic letter ye/yāʾ (known as yāʾ mardūda) found in the Hijazi, Kufic, Thuluth, Naskh, and Nastaliq scripts.[1] It functions as the word-final yā-'e-majhūl ([eː]) and yā-'e-sākin ([ɛː]).[2][obsolete source] It is distinguished from the "choṭī ye (چھوٹی يے; "lesser ye")", which is the regular Perso-Arabic yāʾ (ی) used elsewhere. In Punjabi, where it is a part of the Shahmukhi alphabet, it is called waḍḍī ye (Punjabi: وَڈّی یے) with the Gurmukhi equivalent ਏ.[citation needed] It is also used in the Pakistani Pashto alphabet,[citation needed] with the Afghani equivalent being ی.[citation needed] FormsBaṛī ye is written multiple ways depending on its position:
There are also medial (ـیـ) and initial (یـ) forms, but they are not encoded on Unicode[citation needed] and are generally represented by the regular ye. In Balochi, baṛī ye has the forms ⟨ࢩـ ـࢩـ ـے ے⟩. Diacritical variantsIn Urdu, only the hamza can be applied to baṛī ye:
In Kashmiri, there is a letter that is visually a baṛī ye with a small v sign above, known as the nīmü yāyūk:
BurushaskiIn Burushaski, there are 3 baṛī ye's: ے, ݺ, and ݻ. One of the additional letters is a baṛī ye with the Arabic–Indic digit 2 (۲).
It is used to represent the short vowel /e/. Another letter has a 3 (۳) above it. Unlike ݺ, which represents a shorter sound than the regular baṛī ye, it represents the same long vowel (/eː/) but with primary stress (e.g. /ˈeː/).
