Ooooh dear. The pudding is still a little soggy at the bottom isn't it.\n\n\nWe have *ONE* alphabet\nThere are 26 letters in the English alphabet\nWe are clever so we can use upper AND lower case\nPronunciation is how a letter sounds - nothing to do with a letter

Syzygy (look it up) has six letters like rhythm.\n\nBut, yes, the 'y's are vowels in this case, as in lynx and the words the other people have given.\n\nIn rhythm there is a second, hidden vowel between 'th' and 'm'. So there is a first syllable 'rhyth' and a second 'em', or 'um', or 'am'.

No, because it has only like 5 vowels. Which means the sentence has to have no more than five words. To make 26 letters with five words means they have to be long words. Long words usually have more than one vowel.

Cool observation, if it's your own.\n\nIt's probably because the letter "e" is just, in general, more common than the letter "a".  It's used more.

It is because of the invasions!  The Scottish invaded the Brits and they were unfamiliar with the "P" sound.  So they changed it to "M".  Making Polly, from Molly, from Mary. And Peg, from Meg, from Margaret.  Huh?  Does that make sense?\n\nSounds good enough for me.

Its arrange in the way that, most commonly used letters are clustered in the centre so that we could type fast and efficiently.. though scientist have proved that this is not as fast as it could have been. \n\nU can find more info onarrangements of letter in this site..

i just love all the absolute ignorance that is to be found here on Y!A....\n\nThe sixth letter in the Hebrew aleph-bet is a 'vov,' and it is not pronounced the way a 'double-u' or 'W' is pronounced in English. That was the mistake of the ignorant Christian Biblical scholars of the 1800's and the Christians who didnt know any better. When transliterating the Hebrew characters, they distinguished between a 'vet' and a 'vov' by using a 'b' for a 'bet' and for a 'vet,' and a 'w' for a 'vov,' even though both the 'vet' and the 'vov' are pronounced exactly the same, which is like the 'V' in English.\n\nAnd, by the way, if you didnt understand or follow what i just wrote, PLEASE LEARN HEBREW, especially before you try to study the Bible!

N and Ñ are two entirely different letters, with entirely different sounds. N sounds as in English, but Ñ sounds like NY in canyon, or NI in onion. Also, "new" (British pron.) sounds like "ñu" to us, Spanish speakers. It's like N and Y spoken together. So it would depend on what you want to say.\n\nADDED LATER:\n\nI'm afraid there is no such rule as the one you're asking for. Of course if you know how to pronounce the word, you'll know which letter to use, and reversely, if you know how to spell it, you'll know how to read it. But if you don't have a clue, and you want to predict from the original English word, which one you will have to use, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do to know which letter is required in each specific case. You know for us, N and Ñ are not just as A and Á (i.e.: a letter with or without accent). We take N and Ñ to be two independent letters, just as M and R, to say any example. So, knowing which one to use of these two has never been an issue. They are two different letters, and each has a place. And you don't wonder, in English, why is it that "month" is spelt with an M rather than with an R. They are two independent letters.

My opinion is that the X carries a negative connotation- something you are ridding yourself of  EX wife, EX communicated, etc.  I know those are not real strong arguments, but I don't like the X-mas thing either.  CHRIST is 6 letters- not a big deal to just write them out, but this is the age of quick and easy- so do what ya want, I like CHRISTMAS.

My typing teacher told us that everyone has some combination of letters they will always mess up, for some reason.  For myself, it's always the T and the H ... so my "the" looks like "hte".  It's apparently normal.

R,A,M, R,P,A, Y,A,M ,N,U,J, L,U,J, G,U,A, P,E,S, T,C,O, V,O,N, C,E,D\n\nIt's the abbreviations for the months.  The months are in order, but the abbreviations are backward.\n\n***Edited to put spaces in so they would all show up.
