The Russian letter which, in the Cyrillic alphabet looks similar to: bl It is transliterated into English as "y". This sound, which is a vowel, is considered by many non-Russians to be the most difficult to pronounce. About the best way to describe it is to ask you, "what is the most drunken, lazy, and gritty sound you can vocalize in your mouth? A sound so sloshy that you can only properly pronounce it after having having had copious amounts of the finest vodka, distilled from the brownest grain from the grittiest, most Shostakovich-ish steppes of Mother Russia. A deep, feelingful, but unthoughtful sound worthy to be uttered by the most glass-chewing comrade fit enough to extricate a Sylvester Stallone character from the land of the living. Feel it, go to the center, now pronounce THAT sound." It is folk knowledge that "y!" was the battle cry among the bravest soldiers of the Red Army at Stalingrad.
