K (Letter)
K is the 11thletter and 8th consonant of the Latin alphabet.
Origin
Likely evolution of the grapheme Plot Commonly found three variants of the "K" (top-sensitive), in order of frequency: - The leg joins the other diagonal before reaching the drum (the majority of the most common fonts like Arial )
- The two diagonals meet at the same level in the drum (a number of common fonts such as Futura , Gill Sans , etc.).
- The two diagonals form a junction before the horizontal shaft (very few fonts like Adam BP Cordal, etc..).
One finds these same three variants for the "k" (low-to-case) with a fourth track where the diagonal of the top forms a loop. Linguistics In general, the k is pronounced in French except in a few words of borrowing and the transcripts of certain foreign languages: the digraph used to transcribe the Arabic , as well as Russian and some other Slavic languages , speaks , the is silent before in a few words borrowed from English , such as or
