The 14th letter of the English alphabet has quite a confusing origin. Originally, in ancient Egyptian writing, the hieroglyph they would use for the letter “J” would be the one for snake. This is because it was spelled as djet. However, as more Egyptian letters were discovered, linguists noted that Egyptians would also use the snake symbol to represent N. This led some to believe that djet was actually pronounced with the N sound.
