T, or t, is the 20th letter in the 馃挻 Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name 馃挻 in English is tee (pronounced ), plural tees.[1] It is derived from the Semitic Taw 饜 of the Phoenician and 馃挻 Paleo-Hebrew script (Aramaic and Hebrew Taw 转/饜/ , Syriac Taw 墁, and Arabic 鬲 T膩始) via the Greek letter 蟿 馃挻 (tau). In English, it is most commonly used to represent the voiceless alveolar plosive, a sound it also denotes in 馃挻 the International Phonetic Alphabet. It is the most commonly used consonant and the second-most commonly used letter in English-language texts.[2]
