Let's say you were allowed to permanently remove 5 letters from the alphabet. Which ones would you choose?

  • I think C can be replaced by K and S in both places
  • Q can be replaced with kv
  • W was added to the Latin alphabet later on after V shifted sounds, but V used to represent the w sound so let's do back to doing that
  • X can be replaced with ks
  • Y can be replaced with J, which was originally a variant of I that represented a y sound and still does in a lot of languages
