Why {and how} was Y Invented?

<p>The History of the Letter &lsquo;Y&rsquo;</p> <p>In Latin, the letter &ldquo;Y&rsquo; was named Y Graeca (pronounced ee-grayka) which literally means &ldquo;Greek Y&rdquo;. It was named this because the sound it made (&ldquo;similar to modern German &uuml; or French u&rdquo;) wasn&rsquo;t a native sound for Latin speakers. It was usually only used for foreign words.</p> <p>{in Middle English it was &lsquo;wi&rsquo; /wiː/, which through the Great Vowel Shift became the Modern English &lsquo;wy&rsquo; /waɪ/.} (Source: Wikipedia)</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@jonhudson.main/why-and-how-was-y-invented-1af10f481b0c"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
