I remember learning Spanish and my Spanish teacher told us the history of the letter "ñ". Basically early Spanish monks were copying literature and many words that had the nya sound were written with "nn". So the Spanish word for canyon, cañón, would have been spelled cannón. Monks were short on paper so they had to shorten many words. So the "nn" was shrunk down to "ñ".

There's a fun fact about cyrillic "K" compared to latin "K". Typography wise they have different anatomies.

3:51 Learning Katakana got really fun with these two, being Tsu (ツ) and Shi (シ) They look practically identical, which is great because they're Hiragana forms (つ and し respectively) are very distinguishable. Why is this a thing. There are a lot weird things like that, like how Sa and Ki (さ and き) look basically the same as well but are very different

About the ß, this is actually extremely interesting: The only easy part about German is its spelling. You say what you read and you write what you hear. There are some rules, notably: 1. A double consonant (same consonant written twice) makes the preceding vowel short. 2. An s written on its own is a voiced ("soft") s, like in English "hazard" [z], a double ss makes a voiceles ("hard") s, like in English "pasta" [s]. Now, you can maybe already see a problem: what if you want to write a word with a long vowel, but with a sharp s afterwards? For a long vowel, you'd write only one s afterwards, but for a sharp s, you need two. So this is how this wonderful character was born: it makes the sharp s sound, but counts as only one letter, allowing the preceding vowel to become long. Example: Masse (the mass), short a, sharp s [masə]. Maße (the measures), long a, sharp s [maːsə]. Historic trivia: Historically, people avoided the problem by writing sz (no double s, so allows for long vowel, but indicates sharp s sound). This is why it's called "esszett" (s z, literally). The historic s shape was like an f without the crossbar, if you combine that with a z, you get the historically accurate ß shape, nowadays we usually refer to the combination of the long s and an s. Even more trivia: a few years ago, a wonderful NEW LETTER was introduced to German spelling: the capital ß: ẞ. For a long time, people argued this was not necessary, as an ß only ever occurs in the middle of words, never at the beginning, and is thus never written in capital form. But if you write a word in all caps, like STRAẞE (street), you need a capital shape. This is why it was introduced in 2016.

[@gamermapper]

There's also ſ which used to be the long small S in German and that's how ß came to be ſ+s. And people argues that Eszet didn't need a capital letter because it's already based on a ligature only found in small letters.

[@Herbert.]

@@gamermapper did you read my comment? I mentioned these things already specifically, more towards the end ;)

[@diamondarmy5546]

ẞß

[@felipevasconcelos6736]

@@gamermapper it’s actually a ligature of sz. More accurately, of ſz, and more accurate still of ſʒ. Strictly speaking, the ezh (which I used) and the variant of Z used back then are different letters, but ezh looks more like the tailed Z than “Z with hook”, which’s recommended by Unicode.

Actually, they aren’t! Besides, it is a fact that Dutch and English + Scottish dialect & Norwegian are the prettiest languages on Earth - and it’s only the Germanic languages and most Latin languages and Celtic languages and a few other languages that are pretty! Also, the hard G in Dutch and the TH sounds in English don’t sound good, actually - all should use the soft G and the soft R or the Americanized R in Dutch, and in all other languages, and a normal D and a normal T and a soft RH sound should be used instead of the TH sounds!

[@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038]

Anwy, some of the prettiest letters are the X / x and the N / n and V / v and A / a and F / f and the Norwegian letters Æ / æ and Ø / ø and E / e and the H / h and the Q / q and, the Runes and most Russian letters and most ancient letters coming from Runes look cool! I like all the letters of the Latin alphabet, but X and V and N are definitely 3 of the best-looking letters and sounds! It makes sense that Dutch sounds so great, as it has so many words with V and W and many words with E / EE letters / sounds in them and H / G sounds (technically, the soft G in Dutch sounds close to an H sound, so one might just pronounce it as an H) and lots of other pretty-sounding letters like N / L / D etc and many words with perfect letter combinations like ver / wer / ven / wen / van etc!

the reason for the L crossed is because a lot of people while pronouncing the l say it like this and the Japanese ones mean tsu and shi in katakana

[@Liggliluff]

(2:10) The Polish Ł was used for a variant of the L sound, a "dark L", a velarised L, which in IPA is ɫ, which is a lowercase L with a tilde across. But the sound has shifted to what in IPA now is w, which is the same sound as the English W. But Ł is still related to L, like how "mały" inflects to "mali", so having it still be Ł and not W helps, especially since Polish already uses W for what in IPA is v, the same sound as English V. I do still think that, for when Polish words are imported to English, all Ł should be replaced with W. That is if you're not going to write the line across. For example the word "złoty" (the currency) would be written in English as "zwoty" not "zloty".

[@GoodSmile3]

I try to popularize that when talking in other languages as well, never replace Ł with vanilla L

[@davidosss]

Same happened in Brazilian Portuguese. The name of that country is pronounced /braziw/ in local dialect with the 'w' sound at the end. And even in English you can find such thing. Ex. in Cockney the word 'bell' is pronounced /bew/

As to the Polish “Ł”, I think it’s a very nice expedient to preserve the etymology of a word while suggesting a different pronunciation.
