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

In the system of [Georgian numerals](/source/Georgian_numerals), it has a value of 3000.[2] Dzili commonly represents the [voiced alveolar affricate](/source/Voiced_alveolar_affricate) /dz/,[3] like the pronunciation of ⟨ds⟩ in "pa**ds**". It is typically [romanized](/source/Romanization_of_Georgian) with the digraph [Dz](/source/Dz_(digraph)), or with the letters [J](/source/J), [Ż](/source/%C5%BB), and [Ʒ](/source/%C6%B7).[4]
