@@meowcat7124 isn’t that what russian is

I don't think there is going to be one!

The Y is the original pronunciation

X has at least 3 pronunciations: KS in Fix, GZ in Example, and Z in Xylophone. And J was originally just a shape variation, an I with a hook, so it makes perfect sense that it eventually came to stand for the sound of non-syllabic I, like our Y. That is how it is used in many languages today, including Latin. But some languages changed the Y sound into different sounds but kept the same letter, like the French, which is where we get our pronunciation of J.

@@tkfandbfbfan Perhaps for you it has a KS sound, but for me and millions of others, the X in example is pronounced like the GS in eggs.

it has a k+jh sound in the word “luxury”

Here’s tree.

C has a very strange orthography, using not only the letters of the English alphabet but also additional symbols such as +-/*=, which are also pronounced and serve as one letter abbreviations for mathematical expressions. The language is descended from English and reused English words like if, for, while and abbreviations of English words like int(eger), float (ing point number), (char)acter. It removes a lot of ambiguity from the English language by giving very specific definitions to these so called keywords. Interestingly, text modifiers like ();, and many more are essential to correct C syntax and give structure to what can often seem like a random collection of words and letters. The most interesting feature of the C language has to be the possibility to define your own words, allowing you to express extremely complicated things with just a letter, if you want to. In fact, text written in the c language are usually just one word (a lot of speakers use "main"), that is then defined to mean everything you want to say. This is a strange concept that has so far only been observed in the programming language family.

“That’s how Middle C looked like. However, in Early Modern C, the word order has been significantly relaxed.”

Unlike more object-oriented languages, C follows a strict verb-subject-object word order.

@Mia yun Ruse because of ambiguity it could also be "we know that's not true" :)

my son and I: ???

don't forget about old ampersand, & thorn now

He pretty much already covered the histories of F, V, U, and Y in his "w" video, and in this one, he pretty much already covered G. And unfortunately, a lot of letters are not as interesting as far as their histories are concerned. He could honestly cover all the remaining vowels in one video and include the history of J in it, and it probably would be less than 15 minutes.

I don't think a video about every letter is the way to go here, but I'm sure there are several more interesting "history of writing" stories to be told (heck, they even made a playlist for it!)

@@Mercure250 then he shoULD DO THAT

@@fikatrouvaille3670 Agreed, I was just saying one video per letter wouldn't be as interesting as people might think. If he does all the letters, but group them together in just, like, 2-3 short videos, that would be cool.

The "Ch" in Chips and Chandelier couldn't be replaced by anything

End Lyriks: Letter C has folks saying it should be removed, that without it the alphabet would be improved. It’s a kommon komplaint, that’s misguided at best. No you kan’t just replase sie with K and with S. (~No you kan’t just replase C with K and with S~) You know S bekomes voised intervokalikally, and suffixes preserve etymology. If it’s so inkonsistent why fokus on C? When the quote on quote “problem” is much worse with G? If you were to kut C, then what you’d have in store, is you’re left with more problems than you had before.
