Did you know?

The letter x was once commonly used to denote the sound now denoted by j (jota – the English ‘h’). Examples exist such as Don Quixote (now spelt Don Quijote in modern Spanish) and of course Mexico (Me-hi-co).

The letter ç was once used, but has since been replaced with z in modern Spanish.
