Why do you always come to "U" after the letter "Q" in English?
Now, when you think about it, it is true that the letter "u" always comes after the letter "q" without exception.


"To be able to use the letter q in the game, the player has to find the appropriate letter u, which is the second most rarely used letter in the alphabet, certainly not making the job easier.

Let's sail the 17th letter of that alphabet, unraveling the grumpy q.

In English, "qu" is always used for / kw / voice, as digraph (letter pair representing a single voice). The matching of q to u is a Greek-based invention of the Latin language. The q koppa, the base of the q voice, is used in places where / k / or / g / sound should be, and preceded by rounded vowels. But with a few letters like "c", the same sound was assigned in different combinations.




When the letter c gradually became more representative of such voices, the use of q voice decreased, requiring the letter u to express any voice. (Shuan english) for a full member of the latin alphabet is not very meşqqatli (keh keh).

(Relativly, the name "double-u?" Is the answer, although w is visually represented by two v)

The voices that q represents without voice are generally not available in English, but are more typical in sami languages. The words taken from other tongues such as "quran" and "iraq" are examples of the lyric / q / q of q.

Q may have come from the corn hieroglyph, which means "harpin", "waw" and "paw". The downward line and the triangle symbol were also used for the Greek koppa and were similar in shape to the modern Latin letter used today. "
