Dzili, or Jil (Asomtavruli: Ⴛ; Nuskhuri: ⴛ; Mkhedruli: ძ; Mtavruli: Ძ; Georgian: ძილი, ძილ) is the 31st letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 3000.[2] Dzili commonly represents the voiced alveolar affricate /dz/, like the pronunciation of ⟨ds⟩ in "pads". It is typically romanized with the digraph Dz, or with the letters J, Ż, and Ʒ.[3]
