en.wikipedia.org There are some exceptions to the rule in the English language that the letter Q is followed by the letter U. The majority of these exceptions are anglicised from Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Inuktitut, or other languages which do not use the English alphabet, with Q representing a sound not found in English. For example, in the Chinese pinyin alphabet, qi is pronounced /t?i/ by an English speaker, as pinyin uses q to represent the sound [t??], which is approximated as [t?] in English. In other examples, Q represents [q] in standard Arabic, such as in qat and faqir. In Arabic, the letter ?, traditionally romanised as Q, is quite distinct from ?, traditionally romanised as K; for example, ??? /qalb/ means "heart" but ??? /kalb/ means "dog". However, alternative spellings are sometimes accepted which use K (or sometimes C) in place of Q. QWERTY, one of the few native English words with Q and no U in current usage, is derived from the first six letters of a standard keyboard layout (pictured).
