Some authors omit the carrier letter, for e.g. suffixed [kʰuˣt̪s̟]ʷ or prefixed [ʷkʰuˣt̪s̟], [note 22] or place a spacing variant of a diacritic such as ˔ or ˜ at the beginning or end of a word to indicate that it applies to the entire word. [note 23]
This letter represented the close front rounded vowel, both short and long: /y yː/. [39] Latin did not have this sound as a native phoneme, and speakers tended to pronounce such loanwords with /u uː/ in Old Latin and /i iː/ in Classical and Late Latin if they were unable to produce /y yː/ .
The oldest direct ancestor of the letter Y was the Semitic letter waw (pronounced as [w]), from which also come F, U, V, and W. See F for details. The Greek and Latin alphabets developed from the Phoenician form of this early alphabet. The form of the modern letter Y is derived from the Greek letter upsilon. It dates back to the Latin of the ...
In the first case, the exact one-to-one correspondence may be lost (for example, some phoneme may be represented by a digraph instead of a single letter), but the "regularity" is retained: there is still an algorithm (but a more complex one) for predicting the spelling from the pronunciation and vice versa. In the second case, true irregularity ...
The name of the letter was originally just "υ" (y; also called hy, hence "hyoid", meaning "shaped like the letter υ"), but the name changed to "υ ψιλόν" u psilon 'plain υ' to distinguish it from οι, which had come to have the same [y] pronunciation.
The capitalization of the J is a result of the ij digraph's history as a ligature (writing), a Dutch alternative to the letter 'Y'. In fact, on old maps, the IJ was sometimes marked as the Y.

A spectrogram of [y]. The close front rounded vowel, or high front rounded vowel, [1] is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages.The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is y , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is y.
Many languages that were previously thought to have a palatal lateral approximant actually have a lateral approximant that is, broadly, alveolo-palatal; that is to say, it is articulated at a place in-between the alveolar ridge and the hard palate (excluded), and it may be variously described as alveolo-palatal, lamino-postalveolar, [1] or ...
