Q, 17th letter of the English alphabet, derived through Latin and Greek from
the Phoenician qoph, which was in turn developed from an Egyptian hieroglyph.
In the Semitic languages, qoph represents a plosive sound, very different
from the less energetic Greek sound.
In the Romance languages and modern English, q is usually followed by u
except in transliterations of the Semitic qoph, as in the word Iraq. In
French, qu generally stands for the k sound, as in coquette. When the vowel
preceding q is short, the original French que is generally replaced by c, ck,
or k, as in the words music, barracks, and bank (French musique, baraque,
banque).
