Though why isn’t ‘q’ together with ‘u’ in the alphabet, even though we can see that ‘qu’ are really close to each other, like a digraph? Well, I don’t really know. (The following stuff is theory:) I think the answer could be is ‘qu’ is pronounced like ‘kw’, not with a ‘u’. Queen is pronounced ‘kween’, not ‘kueen’. ‘Q’ used to represent a sound like this (sort of), but I think Latin found it necessary to spell this out with a ‘u’ (‘w’ wasn’t really around back then)

And since that always sounds like KW, replace it with that letter combination, freeing Q to substitute for another sound.

And what about C? Always sound like S or K, except in combination with H, so why not just make C = CH and change all other occurrences to S or K.

While we’re at it, change all occurences of X to KS or Z, and let X = TH.

Also, in some cases the Q is used alone. Qoran
