Ll/ll is a digraph which occurs in several natural languages.

In English, ll represents the same sound as single l: /l/. The doubling is used to indicate that the preceding vowel is (historically) short, or for etymological reasons, in latinisms.

Digraph considered since 1803 to be the fourteenth letter of the Spanish alphabet because of its representation of a palatal lateral articulation consonant phoneme. In great part of the Hispanic countries and regions it is pronounced as a "y", with central emission of air, and with the same variations of articulation. (definition by The Royal Academy of Spanish Language)

In official Galician spelling the ll combination stands for the phoneme /ʎ/ (palatal lateral approximant, a palatal /l/). However, nowadays most Spanish speakers, as well as some Galicians, pronounce ll the same as y (yeísmo). As a result, in most parts of Latin America as well as in many regions of Spain, Spanish speakers pronounce it /ʝ/ (voiced palatal fricative), while some other Latin Americans (especially Rioplatense speakers, and in Tabasco, Mexico) pronounce it /ʒ/ (voiced postalveolar fricative) or /ʃ/ (voiceless postalveolar fricative).
