The letter G is the seventh letter in the Latin alphabet. In English the name of the letter is pronounced jee (j?, IPA: ).HistoryThe letter G was introduced in the Old Latin period as a variant of C to distinguish Latin voiced velar from voiceless .The recorded originator of the letter G is freedman Spurius Carvilius Ruga, the first Roman to open a fee-paying school, who taught around 230 BC. At this time, K had fallen out of favour, and C, which had formerly expressed both and before open vowels, had come to express in all environments.Rugas positioning of G shows that alphabetic order, related to the letters values as Greek numerals, was a concern even in the 3rd century BC. Sampson (1985) suggested that: "Evidently the order of the alphabet was felt to be such a concrete thing that a new letter could be added in the middle only if a ?space? was created by the dropping of an old letter."Evertype.com According to some records, the original seventh letter, Z, had been purged from the Latin alphabet somewhat earlier in the 3rd century BC by the Roman censor Appius Claudius, who found it distasteful and foreign.Encyclopaedia RomanaEventually, both velar consonants and developed palatalizations and allophones before front vowels, which is why today, C and G have different sound values in the various Romance languages, as well as English (due to French influence).The modern minuscule (lower-case) G has two basic shapes: the "opentail G" and the "looptail G" .

The opentail version derives from the majuscule (capital) form by raising the serif that distinguishes it from a C to the top of the loop, thereby closing the loop, and extending the vertical stroke downward and to the left. The looptail form developed similarly, except that some ornate forms then extended the tail back to the right, and to the left again, forming a loop. The initial extension to the left was absorbed into the upper loop. The looptail version became popular when printing switched to "Roman type" because the tail was effectively shorter, making it possible to put more lines on a page. In the looptail version, there is a tiny flick at the upper right which in typography is called its "ear".Generally, the two minuscule forms are interchangeable, but occasionally the difference has been exploited to make a contrast. The 1949 Principles of the International Phonetic Association recommends using for advanced voiced velar plosives and for regular ones where the two are contrasted, but this suggestion was never accepted by phoneticians in general, and today is the symbol used in the International Phonetic Alphabet, with acknowledged as an acceptable variant.UsageIn English, the letter represents a voiced postalveolar affricate ) ("soft G"), as in: giant, ginger, and geology; or a voiced velar plosive ("hard G"), as in: goose, gargoyle, and game.
