>"double u">It's actually double "v"
>>216575443holdouer from the RUMUN DUYS or something... UGH
>>216575443>>216575640Both U and W are modern inventions. So is J.
>>216575808He's saying that it's called the "double u" because V performs the function of U in Latin.
>>216576856>because V performs the function of U in LatinIt's more like a w or even better the Polish ł.

>>216575443>spaniards literally call "W" the "double U V"bunch of retards
wtf I realized why they call it double u now
>>216575443Depends on the font really
Ɯhat are you talking about? It's called double-u because of hoɯ it looks like tɯo u's put together.
>>216576856No, you retard. W makes a v sound in most languages, so he's saying that calling it a double u, when it looks and sounds like a v, is fucking retarded.It's the first time a russian has made any sense.
doo-bleh-veh
>>216579560W makes a /v/ sound in most languages due to sound changes.Its original pronunciation was the voiced labial-velar approximant. It was created due to how the Latin script no longer had a letter for the /w/ sound because of how V underwent the same phonetic process (V and U were the same letter, with V used before a vowel to show that it was pronounced as a semi-vowel), and several languages which initially used this letter later went through the same phonological process of /w/ turning into /v/, although Polish evolved /w/ back through a different sound, the velarized lateral approximant /ɫ/ becoming /w/.
>>216577386Lol, do really niggerfaggotspaniards?
>doppia vi (double v)>v pronounced as 'vu'Shitalians, explain.
