The the commencing place of the alphabet dates back some years. the 1st writing in all probability handed off interior the empire of Sumer or Mesopotamia in historical circumstances. the way those letters manifested into the English language has to do with phonetics and sound. to be waiting to characteristic a letter to the alphabet, you are able to desire to justify the emergence of a sparkling sound which in our language isn't likely and in all probability no longer needed. in case you are able to, you need to continually innovations-set any scholastic researches of phonetics at any considerable college collectively with your thought. good success.

The alphabet as used by English speakers is already short of letters - 26 letters to represent 44 phonemes (sounds, sort of) so it's difficult to imagine which shortfall you'd like to fill. Where would you put it? Next to 'w' as the only other non-monosyllabic letter name? ...u, v, double-u, succubus, y, zed/zee. Suggested sign '♫' to represent your love of birds.

We could re-name the glottal stop "Succubus" and have a chat with the Oxford English Dictionary about including i'.

Nope. You'll have to manage without it. With the closest one.
What is your name, by the way?
