Talk:I

message: Why on earth does the "i" has a dot? I can understand the dot in Turkish, for distinguishing reasons, but how come there is the period on top also in latin and other languages, and for so many centuries? Ciacchi 16:48, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is there no mention of the letter "i" as a mathematical symbol for the square root of minus 1?  I put this fact on the page entitled "I" but someone has deleted it.  Would the person who did that please explain why on this discussion page A.S.A.P.  Paggle
: Each letter has numerous uses as a symbol; they are listed at I (disambiguation) because it would be clutter to list them all in I. —Tamfang (talk) 06:44, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Should there not be a part emphasising the strange way we capitalise the letter I in the English language when referring to ourselves? The article mentions the Turkish capital and dotted i versions, so i don't see why there isn't a section about the English differences. There's also a lot of reasoning behind it (which i still don't understand) which could be interesting to add to the article. For example, some sources ( http://www.alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxwhyisi.html ) say it's used to avoid misreading, which seems strange given the fact that a capital I commonly looks like an uncapped L(i = I - l = L). Other sources say it's akin to capitalising the first letter of a name when referring to another, such as "Tom", though this doesn't make much sense since we don't capitalise the M in me, nor the W in we. -Evaristé93 (talk) 04:28, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Neither this article nor the one about Dotted I (as found in Turkish as a distinct letter) mentions the fact that capital I in France is sometimes dotted.  Nor does the article on tittle mention this.  Does anyone know anything about this (is it only in France where capital I is optionally dotted?)?  shall I add the info?  For example, see https://asterix.com/en/the-collection/albums/asterix-and-the-chieftains-daughter/ or https://asterix.com/le-nouvel-album-dasterix-sortira-le-21-octobre-2021/ or https://www.ac-rennes.fr/ouverture-d-un-enseignement-a-distance-du-breton-des-la-rentree-2021-122312 (the last being a Breton example, see pictures of the classroom walls - the other two examples being in French).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.208.199.100 (talk) 11:11, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have any examples that are not comics? Perhaps Hergé was doing this for effect, to indicate that the heroes are speaking a Breton dialect of Gaulish? Either way, we would need a reliable source (like Grand Larousse encyclopédique or the Academie Française) that recognises it formally before we could use it (examples of use are not valid citations). The fact that it is not mentioned at French orthography makes me doubt strongly that it is standard French. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:43, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Dotted capital I

message: I#Other_languages gives /ai̯/ as a possible value for "i" in Portuguese just because of English words like "site", which isn't seen as a native word but as an English word. Following this logic, you'd have say that /ej/ is also a value for "a" in Portuguese and all other languages that use the Latin alphabet just because of "Facebook", /h~x/ is a possible value for J just because of the Spanish name Juan, and so on and on. Please remove this from the article and leave out only the actual single native pronunciation for the letter i: /i/. -- 𠔻 (talk) 23:00, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
