"Z" belongs to the Latin alphabet, that is, the alphabet on which British English is based, with 26 letters. Z is one of them and the last one.

brief introduction

Z is pronounced zi in American English, zed(lad) in British English and Lazic in Old English. Z comes from the sixth letter Z (zebra) in Greek, and the Greek Z is borrowed from Phoenician. The basic meaning of Z stands for Building, the master of the universe.

The 26th letter Z in the English alphabet comes from the 7th letter Zayin in Semite.

In the Semitic alphabet, Zayin means "olive" (also known as "weapon"). After being introduced by the Greeks, it was pronounced Zeta, and then it was introduced into Serus.

Because there is no Z sound in Latin, Americans omitted it and put it in the seventh place of the new letter P.

It was not until the Romans conquered Greece in the 1 th century BC that the letter Z reappeared in Latin. At that time, it was used to transliterate the Z of Greek words such as zeugma and zephyros into the corresponding sounds in Latin.
