The letter “j” is the tenth letter of the English alphabet. It is a consonant and is pronounced as “jay.” In written form, the letter “j” typically appears as a hook or curved line with a dot above it. It is worth noting that the letter “j” did not exist in the Latin alphabet, from which the English alphabet is derived. Instead, the sound represented by “j” was written as “i” in the past, and the distinction between the two sounds developed gradually over time.

The letter “j” is used to represent various sounds in different languages. In English, it is most commonly used at the beginning of words, such as “jump” or “jacket.” However, it can also appear within words, such as in “enjoy” or “majority.”
