Why isn’t the letter ç used in Spanish like it is in French, Portuguese, and Catalan?
In: Other
Because Spanish doesn’t have that sound. The words where French, Portuguese and Catalan have a ç sound, Spanish has a z sound.
A much more pertinent question would be why does spanish have “ñ” and the others don’t. And the answer is convention. Portuguese and Catalan have “nh” instead, French has “gn”.
