In the Latin-based orthographies of many European languages, including English, a distinction between hard and soft c occurs in which c represents two distinct phonemes. The sound of a hard c often precedes the non-front vowels a , o and u , and is that of the voiceless velar stop , /k/ (as in car ).
In English orthography, c generally represents the "soft" value of / s / before the letters e (including the Latin-derived digraphs ae and oe , or the corresponding ligatures æ and œ ), i , and y , and a "hard" value of / k / before any other letters or at the end of a word.

This distinction between “hard” and “soft” C reflects historical phonetic shifts. As its name suggests, “Es” is also related to the Latin letter “S.” The name of Es in the Early Cyrillic alphabet was слово (slovo), meaning "word" or "speech".

While c , which also has hard and soft pronunciations, exists alongside k (which always indicates a hard pronunciation), g has no analogous letter or letter combination which consistently indicates a hard g sound, even though English uses j consistently for the soft g sound (the rationale for the spelling change of "gaol" to "jail").
