  The Dutch "letter" IJ
The Dutch "letter" IJ The Dutch "letter" IJ Deze uitleg in het Nederlands
Those who say ij is a letter want it between x and z, but never manage to agree what to do with the y then.
That letter is also needed, because it is used as a variable in mathematics, and for spelling words of Greek origin, such as "systeem".

  Latin alphabet - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
It is generally held that the Latins adopted the western variant of the Greek alphabet in the 7th century BC from Cumae, a Greek colony in southern Italy.
An attempt by the emperor Claudius to introduce three additional letters was short-lived, but after the conquest of Greece in the first century BC the letters Y and Z were, respectively, adopted and readopted from the Greek alphabet and placed at the end.
The letter Y when introduced was probably called hy [hyː] as in Greek (the name upsilon being not yet in use) but was changed to i Graeca ("Greek i") as the [i] and [y] sounds merged in Latin.

 y - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Y is the twenty-fifth letter of the Latin alphabet.
The letter y was used by Caxton and other printers in mediaeval England to represent the thorn, resulting in the old-fashioned spelling ye for the word the.
In contrast, in the Latin transcription of Nenets (Nyenec) the letter "y" palatalizes the preceding consonant.

 04-9557 -- Suarez-Romero v. Gonzales -- 11/04/2005
The IJ further stated that, assuming Suarez-Romero has shown that he belongs to a particular social group, he nonetheless failed to show that he meets the definition of a refugee because he failed to show that the Colombian government is unwilling or unable to protect him.
The IJ began by noting that, while the letter from the ELN threatening a "political judgment" against Suarez-Romero's father provided some corroboration for his claim that his father was subject to persecution, the letter was of dubious authenticity.
One reason the IJ gave for finding Suarez-Romero not credible was that he failed to allege the events central to his request for asylum--the letter from the ELN specifically threatening his father and the incident where men in a taxi followed him--in his asylum application or in his asylum interview.

 ANNEX 2. Rules for the use of the IJ in public records   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
By many people the IJ is perceived as a single vowel (which is phonetically not correct).
The IJ is never hyphenated between I and J. For indicating a stressed syllable an acute accent is placed on the i, not on the j.
IJ is considered the equivalent of the Y; at comparing words being identical but for this, IJ precedes Y (cf.

 Simplified Spelling Society : European spelling reforms.
Until 1948 the Danish language was accustomed to give all its nouns a capital letter, as happens to this day in German and as was common in the 18th century in English.
A few relics of the old system are still encountered today - a handful of firms who persist in the old ways, and citizens of the older generation who acquired their literacy skills before the reform; but these cases do not cause the slightest concern.
The greatest difference between most British and Americans in pronunciation is the letter R, which is typically silent in British pronunciation except before vowels; but British reformers recognize the situation and therefore keep R in their reform proposals, as pronounced by Americans, Canadians, Irish and Scots.

 News From The Courts
The IJ found that the Petitioner’s testimony lacked credibility and concluded that, while "white Moors" had persecuted some of their "fl African" countrymen, Petitioner failed to establish either that he personally was persecuted or that he had a well-founded fear of persecution upon return.
The court held that the IJ’s finding that Petitioner did not suffer or fear persecution was not supported by "substantial evidence." The court noted that no transcript of the asylum interview about which the IJ questioned Petitioner was in the record, and therefore was not available to the court on review.
The court determined that Petitioner’s testimony was consistent with the legitimacy of the Red Cross letter because the discrepancy in the location of the refugee camp was easily explained by the fact that the Senegal regions were re-named in 1984.

The IJ received so much flack about my "free publicity" from offended real estate agents who advertised in the IJ that the then editor would not let the advertising department accept any more of my advertisements.
A priest friend confided to me that when he was involved in a controversial project for the Archdiocese, he received numerous unsigned letters with vehement remarks "obviously not written by Christians." I wondered why he would subject himself to degradation by reading them.
The first paragraph of the letter from the president of an institute began with the usual "I am appalled/dismayed." Moreover, he was "doubly dismayed." The next three paragraphs also began with "I".
