X, 24th letter in the English alphabet. The form, phonetic value, and name of
the letter are taken from Latin, via the Greek, and ultimately from an
Egyptian hieroglyph.
The normal x sound in English, occurring in the name of the character
itself, is a composite consonant sound, as in fixture and excellent.
Between two vowels, the first of which is unaccented, the x sound is
usually voiced, as in exalt and exhilarate.
An initial x, generally occurring in words of Greek origin, has a z sound,
as in Xerxes and xylophone. Examples of other x sounds occurring in English
may be represented by the words anxious and luxurious.
