<DIV>> I assume that the <BR>> letter J is not present in the latin alphabet.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>On the website <A href="http://www.du.edu/~etuttle/classics/latalph.htm"><FONT color=blue>http://www.du.edu/~etuttle/classics/latalph.htm</FONT></A> i found this: </DIV>
<DIV>> The latin alphabet of 23 letters was derived in the 600's BC from the </DIV>
<DIV>> Etruscan alphabet of 26 letters, which was in turn derived from the </DIV>
<DIV>> archaic Greek alphabet, which came from the Phoenician. The letters > J, U, and W of the modern alphabet were added in medieval times </DIV>
<DIV>> century), and did not appear in the classical alphabet, except that J </DIV>
<DIV>> and U could be alternative forms for I and V. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After reading a bit more on the site it seems like by writing "medieval times" they mean somewhere around the 11th century, which doesn't make it a bit less confusing... </DIV>
<DIV>Could somebody help clear this out...? </DIV>
