>his language calls it a greek-i
Totally pleb. It should definitely be called "u"
>not calling it "Ípsilon"

yes because the only reason it was added to latin alphabet by the romans was as a loan letter from the greek alphabet. so that's exactly was it is, a greek i.
calling it something original is implying it's anything but a greek i. which it isn't. it's just celts being cucks and thinking they invented a letter.
>>57877656
i meant *germanics
but celts work too
>>57877656
>>57877822
You think the reason that we call it by it's pronunciation is because we think we invented it?
lmao you portugeezers have a serious complex
AM I BEING DETAINED
>>57877931
"why"
that's not it's pronunciation in any english word i heard of. th word "why" specifically has the double-u for the "w" sound
>>57878066
English is a mutt language.
In all other Germanic languages y is a vowel and is pronounced as such.
>Name's Jesus
>letter J isn't invented until 1524
>>57878171
This
English has a fuckton of letters that shouldn't exist, y being one of them.
>>57878171
in german they call it "eopsilon" which definitely is not how it's pronounced (and is also at the same etymological origin in latin: epsilon is a sort of equivalent letter to i in the greek alphabet)
i have no idea about dansk, tho.
>>57878271
>Implying J is pronounced as a I and not as old Spanish X.
>>57878271
that's how the letter "i" was pronounced in the beginning of a word in vulgar latin by the time jesus was alive
>>57878326
WRONG, portunigger. It's pronounced üpsilon. If you don't know how ü is pronounced, go fuck yourself.
we call it igrek
dont know why
>>57878660
i do, i just forgot. i typed "eo" because i know it's similar to the sound in "goethe".
>pronouncing a Y like an ü
it's like you're begging to be made fun of
>>57878993
>but we created it and shiet
>>57878993
well the original sound wasn't too far off from that

>>57878929
oe is ö
ue is ü
ae is ä
