What is Qu (digraph)?
'''Qu''' is a [[digraph]] (a pair of two letters) used in many European languages. In these languages, the letter q is special, because it almost always needs a silent u after it. Sometimes words have q without a u, like the [[French language|French]] cinq, meaning five. ==/k/== In many languages, like [[French language|French]] and [[Spanish language|Spanish]] it is used for the /k/ sound before e and i. In [[English language|English]] qu makes a /k/ sound in loanwords like unique and queue. ==/kv/ or /kw/== In [[English language|English]], qu usually makes a /kw/ sound, as in quick. In [[German language|German]], qu makes a similar /kv/ sound. [[Category:Latin letters]]
