based on French such as the "our" in journey, ch pronounced as /sh/ and the que as /k/
in antique. The conquest resulted in a decline of Old English. During Mature Middle
English, Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales in the late 1300s (Renaissance period)
The Latin vocabulary conveyed both abstract and humanistic ideas. Index, library,
medicine, instant. Latin prefixes: ad-, pro-. Suffixes:
-ent, -ion, -al. English is a polygot.

P-Position-a letter may make a specific sound in I,M,F position (a as /uh/ in final: "soda",
x in initial position sounds /x/, and e in final is silent
