Its usual name in English is jay (pronounced /ˈdʒeɪ/), with a now-uncommon variant jy /ˈdʒaɪ/.
Why is J pronounced as Y?The reason is very simple. We pronounce these J's like Y's because these words and names are borrowed from languages where the letter J is pronounced like English Y. Instead of changing the spellings to fit our pronunciation system, we kept the spellings from the original languages, and we kept the pronunciations.
How old is the letter J in English?It wasn't until 1524 when Gian Giorgio Trissino, an Italian Renaissance grammarian known as the father of the letter J, made a clear distinction between the two sounds.
What is the letter J in Greek?There is no J in Greek. Greek has no symbol that represents J nor does it have a sound that is equivalent to our J sound. The letter J was added on to the Latin alphabet in the Middle Ages to distinguish it from the consonant I. Prior to the invention of J, I could be either a consonant or a vowel.
