Best letters of the alphabet


Ranking the Letters of the Alphabet, From Lamest to Coolest

It’s a question that has long puzzled scholars and laymen alike: Which letter of the alphabet is coolest, and which is the lamest? Today, here at Paste, we’re finally answering the question of questions.

Note: We’ll only be using the commonly accepted, 26-letter English alphabet. Ns with tildes and double Ls and accented vowels are all very cool, but not eligible for this particular ranking.

We start with the lamest, and work our way to the best:

B is an incredibly lame letter. Everything about it is soft and weak. B is a prominent feature in words like “baby” and “Bobby” and “bibby” and “bubby.” It’s not a prominent feature in the word “bebby,” because that word doesn’t exist, but I believe those other words show how weak B can be. Even the “B” swear words, like “bastard” or “bitch,” are lame in comparison to the harder-hitting swear words. And beyond an exception here or there, it’s all “belly” and “boo-boo” and “Bambi” and other sad words.

Best B-Word: Beer

One of the most common letters, and one of the most boring. M is mediocre and middling and meh. I can’t stand M. It’s just a sound you make when your lips are together. It should never have been elevated to letter status.

Best M-Word: Modicum

Just a very, very limited word. Overly dependent on U. Kinda pathetic.

Best Q-Word: Quixotic

The most bOring vowel. O is the safe person with a secure job you marry when you turn 35 and want to settle down. It’s no coincidence that when we want to express displeasure, we string together one B with a bunch of Os. Booooo.

Best O-Word: Ominous

It’s like water. Super useful, but so ubiquitous that you can’t really think of it as anything special. And just like water, it can turn horrible without warning; words like “peepee” are the tsunamis of the English language.

Best E-Word: Eclipse

Hard to pronounce, limited in use, and ultimately pretty apathetic. Words like lollygag and idle and lazy and aimless and desultory and casual and frivolous and sluggish and lethargic and lackadaisical and dull and dally and indolent and laggard and languid and lummox and loafer and lifeless and slack and sloth and slow and lag and somnolent and…you get it. They all feature an L, the slug of letters.

Best L-Word: Liquefy

This is the only letter that needs more than one syllable to say its name, which makes it kind of ostentatious. But for all that effort, what do we get? A loner letter that really doesn’t do anything special. Why did I just waste three syllables on you, W?!

Best W-Word: Whipoorwill

Very normal. Non-entity. Nothing. For naught.

Best N-Word: Noxious and nebbish

Not a bad vowel, not a great vowel. It’s a bit of a chameleon in terms of changing its pronunciation, but none of them sound that cool. Ah is what you say at the dentist, Eh is what Canadians say when they’re confused (which is always), aw is what you say when something is adorable but not thrilling. We need A, and we know it, but that doesn’t mean it presses our buttons.

Best A-Word: Alabaster

Y is a little cutesy. It’s always trying to be super positive in the beginning of words (yay, yippee, yowser, yasss), and at the end of words it’s immature and cloying. The word “yummy,” for example, is an all-time horrible addition to the language. Plus, we should ask ourselves whether we really need Y. Couldn’t the “yuh” sound just be replaced by J, and couldn’t we just use “ie” and “ee” at the end of words? Y is redundant, and the only reason I don’t rank it lower is because it can be a wild card vowel, which is pretty cool.

Best Y-Word: Yokel

The only real cool thing about P is that it combines with H to form the “f” sound. Other than that, it’s a very basic, no-frills letter, and I refuse to write another word about it.

Best P-Word: Pharisee

There are a lot of things to hate about “I.” For one, it’s the only vowel that you never see in double, except in the word “Hawaii.” For two, it’s highly functional but pretty boring. However, it has the most selfish word in the English language, “I,” and it doesn’t have to share with anyone else. Selfish, independent people are kinda cool.

Best I-Word: I

H really slips under the radar. Maybe it’s the soft sound, or the way it transforms when coupled with an S or a G or a C or a W, or maybe it’s been typecast as the sound of laughter. In any case, I like H, but I can’t justify putting it in the top half of these rankings.

Best H-Word: Hemorrhage

For me, G is summarized by the word “guttural.” It’s a sound that comes from the gut. In Freudian terms, it’s the id of the alphabet, a gasping gulping gah of a letter. Everything sounds rougher with G—even nice things like a grotto. G finds itself in its natural habitat with words like ghetto and gulag and garbage and garote and gag. It’s cool, but only in that very earthy, unfeeling way. Sometimes people try to dress it up with words like genre or gazelle, or to soften it with words like grass, but it always ends up looking like a bull in a china shop. Deep down, G can’t change is stripes. G makes me uncomfortable.

Best G-Word: Gazebo

R is the inventive word, the cutting-edge word, the future word. R is radical and rebellious and revolutionary. R is roguish and riotous and recalcitrant and reactionary and recherche, and R is a rowdy reformer and a renegade. R is real, and R is remorseless.

Best R-Word: Refulgent

Such an extravagant letter! Everything about it is terrific, tops, tremendous, and a triumph. It’s the Donald TRUMP of letters, but without all the bigotry. It’s just towering and terrific, and always a little bit tacky.

Best T-Word: Tabernacle

Definitely the coolest vowel. Pairs up in weird ways with all the other vowels, and also Q. For a rounded letter with a rounded sound, it can come off surprisingly cool in words like “ultra” and “umbrage.” It also pairs with “n” to reverse the meaning of most words, which is quite a power to have. This is the letter you sort of look at askance at first, thinking, “hmm…kinda dorky,” but eventually you realize it’s pretty sweet. It’s just unfortunate that the most famous example of it pairing with itself comes in the word “muumuu.”

Best U-Word: Ukulele

A very negative letter, D, but in kind of a cool grandfatherly way. It’s like the Bernie Sanders of letters, featuring such words as dearth and damn and dastardly and dreck and drivel and dirt and done and dope and drug and deform and devil and demagogue and dystopia and decay and drought and death. D tells it like it is, and that’s cool.

Best D-Word: Diabolical and duodenum

Multiple pronunciations, hangs out with most of the other letters, including Z (czar), and looks like it could eat the other letters, Pacman style. C is vastly underrated, probably because it’s a little co-dependent with K at the end of words.

Best C-Word: Concatenation

Other than a certain letter to come later, V is the sexiest letter. Any word with a “V” is automatically more alluring and mysterious. Vixen, vespers, violet, vermillion, vampire, vivid, velvet, vulva, vapor, vulpine, volcano, vicious, verve, vanity, vodka, vinyl, vino, venom, vroooooom. Man, that’s a red-hot letter.

Best V-Word: Vivacious

S is a traveler. It can go anywhere with any letter. Even crappy consonants like “B” can pair up with S in words like “Sbarro.” Q? Absolutely, don’t be a square. V? Svengali says yes. The only real hold-out is “D,” the most previously mentioned most independent word. Aside from that, S is the most popular, coolest kid in the school.

Best S-Word: Sarsaparilla

K is by far the most sinister letter. Put it at the end of a word that usually ends in “C,” and you’ve got terrifying constructions like “politik.” At the beginning of words, you have killers and kicks and kidnappers and kings and kabals and knockouts. The letter is pure kerosene, and it has that dangerous kool vibe that’s impossible to resist.

Best K-Word: Kabuki

The reason J is this high is because it has a lot of range in terms of pronunciation. You can have the hard J in jugular, the h-sounding Spanish J in Guadalajara or jai alai, and the hardish-softish French J, as in “au jus.” (Which tastes great with roast beef.) In some European countries, it’s pronounced like a “y,” as with the soccer team Juventus. You could argue that other letters like G, Y, H, and even X are merely J cover bands. For versatility, it’s hard to beat J.

Best J-Word: Jumanji

X is so illicit. X is sex, basically. X is a vixen. X is a place where people don’t give a shit, like Texas, or a place that cool criminals in westerns escape to, like Mexico. X is the letter you use to replace spiritual words in a way that annoys people. X is where treasure is buried. In games of tic-tac-toe, everybody roots for X. An extreme word like “extreme” becomes even more extreme when you cut off the “e” and make it X-treme. It is the nexus, the pox, and the hex. There is no exit, because X is the apex.

Best X-Word: Excess

It has the greatest, most versatile word in the English language.

Best F-Word: Fuck

Need to make your product sound awesome, but you’re stuck with an “s”? Just switch it up with a “z,” and you’ve got Rocketballz and Lazers and Canz and Truck Nutz and Blue Razzberry and Lugz and Bratz. Every word that ends with “z” is awesome, as we see from examples like jazz and pizzazz and whiz and topaz and waltz and spazz. It can simultaneously be aggressive (blitz), communal (kibbitz/kibbutz), and funny (ditz/schnozz). It is always exciting (abuzz). It knows when to be silent (chez). And at the start of words, it’s sharp and incisive: zing, zippy, zest, zeal, zero, zone, zombie. In words like Xanadu, even an ultra-cool letter like X tries to be Z.

Best Z-Word: Zydeco

The Coolest Letters of the Alphabet (from Q to U)

A recent issue of Esquire magazine had a fun writeup in which it ranked the letters of the English alphabet in order of stylishness and popularity:

G X T R Z F E O Q S V M C N Y P D A W I L U B H J K

Esquire didn’t explain how it arrived at this order, nor did they even suggest the rankings are based on anything other than the personal preferences of their staff writers; but considering Esquire has a well-earned reputation as an authority on American style, that’s good enough for public consumption.

But it’s not good enough for me. After about a decade of education and experience in copywriting and advertising—during which I’ve developed countless company names, product names, headlines and taglines—I’ve got issues with that list. So I’ve concocted a list of my own.

My own alphabet rankings:

Q—Extremely rare letter that looks cool (upper- or lowercase), makes a sharp sound and always draws attention. Downside: comes with baggage (see “U”).

X—Another uber-rare letter that is often stands on its own (X-ray, X factor). So attention-getting that it gets overused and abused—but don’t hate the letter, hate the user.

Y—People subconsciously enjoy those words that have fewer vowels, like Sphinx or Schism. But when the only vowel is a Y (Tryst, Rhythm)—even better.

T—King of the Letters. Tall, top-heavy and majestic, it begins and ends a great number of powerful words.

Z—Last in the phone book but first in the hearts of many. Also known by its British name, Zed.

S—Smooth, stylish, sexy. Starts and ends more words than just about anything. Makes many out of one. Also the first letter in great names.

K—A sharp letter that surprisingly few words begin with. And just to show off, is occasionally silent (Knife, Knave) for seemingly no reason.

W—The only letter whose name is more than one syllable (frustrating back in the days when we all had to say “www” on web addresses). Also the widest letter.

A—First letter should not be underestimated. Associated with all things quality (A List, Alpha). More company names start with the letter A than any other.

V—Just kinda cool. Especially when used by Romans instead of U.

P—Versatile and offers some great potential in combination with other consonants. Think of all the words that start with Ph, Ps or even Pn.

R—Relatively strong at the start or end of a word—sort of a lite version of T.

M—13th letter of the alphabet is 13th on this list. That about sums it up.

E—You’ve got to give some credit to the most common letter of the alphabet. Bonus: its presence elongates other vowel sounds, as in turning Ton to Tone or Mat to Mate.

H—Pretty weak on its own, I’ve been convinced of the powers of H because of what it does to other letters—Th, Sh, Ch, Ph, etc.

O—Nothing special here, though it may be making a resurgence with the organic movement, Oprah and Obama.

B—B List, B Movie, Plan B, Beta. The ugly stepsister of A will never be top notch.

J—Just not that into it.

G—Even Tony the Tiger can’t make this letter that cool.

L—Elegant but weak. The lowercase L is about as lazy as it gets.

N—No. Non. Nyet. Nein. Negative in every language.

C—Some people hate C because its role can be performed by both S and K. I’m not part of the “Delete C” lobby, but I could be convinced.

I—The favorite word of people who talk about themselves.

D—See “B”.

F—“F you?” ‘Nuff said.

U—Uh. Um. Ugh. The ugly sound of stupidity and disappointment.

Overall trends: rarer letters have some mystique, and can really enhance the cool factor of a word, especially when they’re the first letter or used in combination with other cool letters. Because of my affinity for rare letters, this list looks bottom-heavy, with eight of the top ten letters from the end of the alphabet. On the other hand, the most common letters (E, S, T) get a boost for being on top. Finally, letters that have a hard sound (like T or K) convey strength, while softer letters (like J or F) and vowels feel weaker.

You’ll see some similarities between my list and Esquire’s (X, T, U) and some glaring differences (G, K), and in the end this is pretty subjective. But for all my fellow word nerds out there: enjoy.

11 amazing and beautiful alphabets of the world

Not everyone who learns a new language necessarily gets acquainted with the new alphabet: today many languages ​​of the world use familiar alphabets, in particular Latin or Cyrillic. However, if you happen to be lucky enough to learn a language with a unique alphabet, it can be a fun and exciting experience. We talk about the 11 most amazing alphabets in the world and, together with an expert, share the secrets of learning them using the example of the Georgian language.

Most people who are only familiar with their own script do not understand that different alphabets work in completely different ways. The way the Cyrillic or Latin alphabet works is by no means universal: for example, in some alphabets, the basic units are not letters representing individual vowels and consonants, but graphemes, which represent whole ideas or concepts. In other alphabets, the base units are syllables rather than individual sounds, and still others are built on combinations of vowels and consonants.

The Armenian alphabet was developed around 405 AD. e. Mesrop Mashtots, Armenian linguist and spiritual leader. Initially, the system had 36 letters, but three more were subsequently adopted. The alphabet was widely used in the Ottoman Empire around the 18th-19th centuries, and the Armenian language itself is a linguistic curiosity: some of its sounds are not found in other Indo-European languages.

Number of characters: 47 (33 consonants and 14 vowels)

The Balinese alphabet belongs to the Abugida writing system, one of the main characteristics of which is that the basic units are combinations of consonants and vowels with an emphasis on consonants. The alphabet is mainly used in Bali, Indonesia, where it is commonly known as Aksara Bali and Hanacaraka . The Balinese alphabet is a descendant of the Brahmi script and is today used to write Balinese, Old Javanese and Sanskrit, although the first two have largely switched to the Latin alphabet.

Although the Balinese script is similar to many other Asian languages, it is unusually complex and beautiful. Today, this alphabet is most often used for religious purposes, such as in sacred manuscripts, especially those related to Hinduism. It was once believed that the very writing of this language was sacred and could not be deciphered or even taught unless one had sufficient spiritual power.

The Burmese alphabet is another descendant of the Brahmi script and consists of beautiful and intricate twists and curls. The alphabet can be traced back at least ten centuries, and like other abugidas, its letters are essentially syllables, with marks known as "diacritics" added to the consonants to indicate the vowel to be used. in syllable. Traditionally written Burmese did not have spaces between words, however modern usage has included word spacing in Burmese as this makes the text easier to read. The alphabet consists of round shapes that are always drawn in a clockwise direction, and the reason for the signature roundness is more practical than aesthetic: palm leaves, which were traditionally carved with letters, were easily torn under straight cuts.

Sitting between Turkey and Russia, Georgia has its own language and alphabet, which have historically been threatened by the Russian language. The Georgian script is the three writing systems used to write the Georgian language: Asomtavruli, Nuskhuri and Mkhedruli. Although the systems differ in appearance, all three are single-row, and their letters have the same name and alphabetical order. Of the three alphabets, Mkhedruli, once the civil royal script of the Kingdom of Georgia, is now the standard script for modern Georgian and its related Kartvelian languages, while Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri are used only by the Georgian Orthodox Churches in ceremonial religious texts and iconography.

Philologist, bilingual, Georgian language teacher since 2014, author of the Georgian language course at the AZRI online school:

The principle of analogy and the uniqueness of language

Learning any foreign language implies a tangible restructuring of the worldview, it is always a journey. And when we come across ancient and rare languages ​​with unique writing, it is also time travel. A significant difference and dissimilarity with our native language in both alphabet and grammar can cause cognitive dissonance. Here I can give the following advice: on the one hand, one should not expect that the language being studied will be so similar to the native or already studied one that one has only to translate the words - and the desired result is obtained. On the other hand, it is quite natural to look for support in the same school course of linguistics, which is served on the example of native and foreign languages. We are very lucky that the grammatical system of the Georgian language largely coincides with Russian, as well as, for example, with French and Spanish. Intersections with other languages ​​can and should be relied upon, because the principle of analogy helps us to cope with the gap between the familiar and the new that we encounter when we start learning a language. At the same time, it is always important to remember that each language is unique and, of course, all analogies have their limits.

Use as many channels of perception as possible

In teaching Georgian, it is relatively easy to influence several channels of perception and activate different types of memory of students due to the fact that the phonetic principle of writing works in it: this means that each of the 33 letters corresponds to exactly one sound and As a result, everything reads exactly as it is written. This is a big plus for all students: in fact, there are no and cannot be any reading rules in Georgian, Georgian words do not need to be transcribed, it is enough to know what sound a particular letter stands for. To reinforce each letter, for example, in the course of our school, we first of all use visual perception (in text, pictures and animations) and auditory perception - we provide voice acting and phonetic video materials for each letter. We also add a tactile component thanks to specially designed recipes - by analogy with those used by Georgian schoolchildren. Of course, this method is not universal, but when studying a rare and unique language, one should try to "attack" the brain with information from several sides at once. There are many proven techniques: you can listen to audio material and "follow" the transcript with your eyes, "mock" the speaker by copying his intonations, take dictation - all these are techniques of increased efficiency.

Individual approach

The process of processing new information is individual, everyone learns new material at different speeds - this is an axiom. But at the same time, there is much that is universal in the mechanism of perception. For example, the associative and game methods are very effective. What does it mean? Most people find it easier to assimilate information by first integrating it into their reality. Having tied this or that information to our consciousness with the help of individual associations, we appropriate this information, it ceases to be alien, it becomes part of us. These two tools - associations and a game - must be used in conjunction, because it is impossible to make a game that does not suit you a part of your life. Let's say one student spends a lot of time in transport. Mobile applications for learning new words that use the spaced repetition method are perfect for him: in a playful way and with the help of associations, they help, as it were, quietly master a large layer of information. And another student, for example, walks a lot, he can play with himself: call in the language that he is currently studying, all the objects that he meets on the way along a repeating route. In this way, he will create this space anew - for his new linguistic personality, which is formed for each language he learns. Associative links will stretch between these objects, it will “come to life”.

The Hebrew alphabet is the Abjad alphabet, a branch of the Imperial Aramaic alphabet used to write Hebrew and other Hebrew languages, primarily Yiddish, Judeo-Spanish, Judeo-Arabic, and Judeo- Persian. Historically, two separate abjad alphabets have been used to write Hebrew. The original Hebrew script, known as the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, is largely preserved in a variation of the Samaritan alphabet. In contrast, the current "Hebrew script" or "square script" is a stylized form of the Aramaic alphabet. The Hebrew alphabet does not have capitals, consists of 22 letters, but when used at the end of a word, five letters have different forms. The Arabic and Hebrew alphabets share similarities because both are derived from the Aramaic alphabet and Paleo-Hebrew.

Ogham script is another unusual and beautiful font that most people do not even recognize as an alphabet, but take it for decorative painting. However, this is actually a Celtic tree-like alphabet, many of whose letters have their own names, traditionally referring to trees and shrubs. The Ogham script was used for writing in Early Irish and Old Irish, and although it is no longer actively used (except in neopagan rituals), inscriptions can be found throughout Ireland and parts of Britain.

The Cherokee alphabet is unique not only in its spelling, but also in how it appeared. Unlike most other known styles, it was not developed over time, in the distant past, but was invented quite recently, at the beginning of the 19th century. What is even more amazing is that it was invented by a man named Sequoyah, who had not been able to read before, not only in his native Cherokee language, but in any language at all. After several unsuccessful attempts, during which he first tried to create a symbol for each word of the Cherokee language, and then for all possible concepts, he finally created a more practical alphabet with a symbol for each syllable. The symbols are based on those that Sequoyah found in European books, but since he could not read them, the relationship between letters and sounds is his own invention, which is completely different from the original Latin or Greek letters and sounds. It took the Sequoia about 12 years to complete their alphabet, but it took much less time for it to be adopted by the Cherokee people, despite their initial skepticism and resistance.

The Sinhalese alphabet is also part of a family that developed from the Brahmi script. The alphabet is widely used in Sri Lanka to write the Sinhalese language, as well as Sanskrit and Pali in religious texts. The Sinhalese alphabet consists of two sets of letters, which is why it is sometimes said that they are actually two separate alphabets. The basic set of letters is used to write words in the native Sinhala language, and the extended set is used for words from Pali, Sanskrit and sometimes English. Sinhalese is considered one of the most widely spoken scripts in the world - still taught in Buddhist monasteries and schools, the language is native to more than half of Sri Lanka's 21 million people.

The Old Mongolian alphabet, also known as mongol bichig , is a beautiful vertical script in which the letters include separate consonants and vowels. Of course, there are many vertical fonts in the world, but the Mongolian font is especially beautiful and intriguing: the beauty of the font is due to the fact that visual harmony is very important for it, and the intrigue is that the shape of the letter can be changed depending on its position and letter , which follows.

Ethiopian is a syllabary originally developed to write the ancient Ethiopian Ge'ez language. Currently, geez is not used, except for religious ceremonies in a few churches, the main ones being the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Churches. However, this alphabet was adopted by other languages ​​of Ethiopia and Eritrea, so it is still used quite widely.

The Javanese alphabet is closely related to Balinese and is also derived from the Brahmi script, so they have a lot in common: the Javanese script is also richly decorated and decorative and is used in many Indonesian languages, including Sanskrit. While the Balinese alphabet is used for Old Javanese, the Javanese alphabet is used for Modern Javanese. Although the use of the Latin alphabet has increased significantly in recent years, the government is trying to counter this by encouraging the teaching of writing in schools. The number of basic characters in an alphabet depends on which language it is used to write.
