Q is the seventeenth (number 17) letter in the English alphabet. It is always followed by a silent letter U. Q makes a kw sound as in quick or a k sound as in unique.
Some people say that the letter Q is not needed, because the sound it makes can be made with K or C and W instead. The same thing is said about the letter X.
Below are some ancient ways of writing Q:
