History

"C" an "G" come fae the same letter, baith thocht tae descend fae the Proto-Semitic gimel, wilk itsel mey be fae an Egyptian hieroglyph shawin a staff sling, awtho anither argiment is that it comes fae a hieroglyph shawin a camel[2]. Gimel wis adoptit intae Phoenician as gimel an aw tae shaw the same soond, an fae there intae Greek.

The Etruscan leid didnae contrast voicin wi plosive consonants, sae whan gamma wis taen intae the leid it wis uised tae shaw the soond /k/. At the hinder end it wis makkit intae C and uised in Laitin along wi K an Q an aw for tae shaw the soonds /k/ an /g/, whilk in writin warna differentiatit. In the 3rd yearhunder BC a changit chairacter wis introducit tae shaw the soond /g/, whilk becam G.

Anither letter whilk is leukin like the Laitin C is the Es (С, с) in Cyrillic. Hooiver, this descends fae the Greek lunate sigma.
