E, or east, is the fifth letter and the second vowel alphabetic character in the modern English alphabet and the ISO basic Latin alphabet. Its name in English is e (pronounced ); plural ees,^[ane] Es or Due east'southward.^[2] It is the virtually commonly used letter of the alphabet in many languages, including Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, High german, Hungarian, Latin, Latvian, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish.^{[three] [four] [5] [half-dozen] [7]}

History

Egyptian hieroglyph qʼ	Proto-Sinaitic	Proto-Canaanite hillul	Phoenician He	Etruscan E	Greek Epsilon	Latin/ Cyrillic East

The Latin letter 'E' differs footling from its source, the Greek alphabetic character epsilon, 'Ε'. This in turn comes from the Semitic letter hê, which has been suggested to take started as a praying or calling human figure (hillul 'jubilation'), and was well-nigh likely based on a similar Egyptian hieroglyph that indicated a unlike pronunciation. In Semitic, the letter represented /h/ (and /e/ in foreign words); in Greek, hê became the letter epsilon, used to represent /due east/. The various forms of the Former Italic script and the Latin alphabet followed this usage.

Use in writing systems

Pronunciation of the proper noun of the letter ⟨eastward⟩ in European languages

English

Although Center English spelling used ⟨e⟩ to represent long and short /e/, the Slap-up Vowel Shift inverse long /eː/ (as in 'me' or 'bee') to /iː/ while brusk /ɛ/ (equally in 'met' or 'bed') remained a mid vowel. In other cases, the letter of the alphabet is silent, generally at the cease of words like queue.

Other languages

In the orthography of many languages it represents either [due east], [e̞], [ɛ], or some variation (such every bit a nasalized version) of these sounds, often with diacritics (as: ⟨e ê é è ë ē ĕ ě ẽ ė ẹ ę ẻ⟩) to indicate contrasts. Less commonly, every bit in French, German, or Saanich, ⟨e⟩ represents a mid-central vowel /ə/. Digraphs with ⟨e⟩ are common to indicate either diphthongs or monophthongs, such as ⟨ea⟩ or ⟨ee⟩ for /iː/ or /eɪ/ in English, ⟨ei⟩ for /aɪ/ in German, and ⟨eu⟩ for /ø/ in French or /ɔɪ/ in German.

Other systems

The International Phonetic Alphabet uses ⟨e⟩ for the close-mid front end unrounded vowel or the mid forepart unrounded vowel.

Most common alphabetic character

'E' is the most common (or highest-frequency) letter in the English language alphabet (starting off the typographer's phrase ETAOIN SHRDLU) and several other European languages, which has implications in both cryptography and data compression. In the story "The Gold-Bug" by Edgar Allan Poe, a character figures out a random graphic symbol code by remembering that the about used letter of the alphabet in English language is E. This makes it a hard and popular alphabetic character to employ when writing lipograms. Ernest Vincent Wright's Gadsby (1939) is considered a "dreadful" novel, and supposedly "at least function of Wright'south narrative problems were caused past linguistic communication limitations imposed by the lack of E."^[eight] Both Georges Perec's novel A Void (La Disparition) (1969) and its English translation by Gilbert Adair omit 'due east' and are considered ameliorate works.^[9]
