| | C FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | The Romance languages and English have a common feature inherited from Vulgar Latin where C takes on either a "hard" or "soft" value depending on the following vowel. |
 | | In English and French, C takes the "hard" value finally and before A, O, and U, and the "soft" value before E, I, or Y. Romance languages obey similar rules, but the soft value is different in several languages, taking on /θ/ in European Castilian and (like English CH) in Italian and Romanian. |
 | | Other languages use C with different values, such as regardless of position in Irish, Welsh, in Fijian, in Turkish, Tatar, Azeri, in Tagalog, Bahasa Indonesia, in Czech, Croatian, Esperanto, Hungarian, Polish, Romanized Chinese, Serbian, Latvian. |
