==English==

===Etymology 1===
[[Image:Runic letter uruz.png|left|50px|Anglo-Saxon Futhorc letter ᚢ (u, “ur”)]]
From {{der|en|enm|-}} lower case letter {{m|enm|v}} (also written {{m|enm|u}}), from {{der|en|ang|-}} lower case {{m|ang|u}}, from 7th century replacement by lower case {{m|mul|u}} of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc letter {{m|ang|ᚢ|pos=ur}}, derived from Raetic letter {{m|mul||u}}.

Before the 1700s, the pointed form {{m|en|v}} was written at the beginning of a word, while a rounded form {{m|en|u}} was used elsewhere, regardless of sound. So whereas {{m|en|valor}} and {{m|en|excuse}} appeared as in modern printing, {{m|en|have}} and {{m|en|upon}} were printed {{m|en||haue}} and {{m|en||vpon}}. Eventually, in the 1700s, to differentiate between the consonant and vowel sounds, the {{m|en|v}} form was used to represent the consonant, and {{m|en|u}} the vowel sound. {{m|en|v}} then preceded {{m|en|u}} in the alphabet, but the order has since reversed.

==Dutch==

===Etymology===
Originally the dative and accusative form of {{m|nl|jij}}/{{m|nl|gij}}, from {{inh|nl|dum|u}}, from {{inh|nl|odt|iu}}, from {{inh|nl|gmw-pro|*iwwiz}}, from {{inh|nl|gem-pro|*iwwiz}}, {{der|nl|gmw|-}} variant of {{m|gem-pro|*izwiz}}, dative/accusative of {{m|gem-pro|*jūz}}, from {{der|nl|ine-pro|*yū́}}. {{doublet|nl|jou}}.

The use as a nominative form is linked to the polite address {{m|nl|uwe edelheid||your nobility, your gentility}}, which was shortened to {{m|nl|U E.}} in writing and at times accordingly pronounced {{IPAfont|/yˈ(w)eː/}}. It is debated, however, whether this was the actual cause of the development or whether it merely reinforced it. Compare {{m+|en|you}}, which was originally an object form, as well as {{cog|af|ons}} and nonstandard {{m+|nl|hun}}.

Cognate with {{cog|fy|jo}}, {{cog|nds|jo}}, {{m|nds|ju}}, {{cog|en|you}}, {{cog|de|euch}}.

====Usage notes====
* The capitalization of {{m|nl|u}} (as in {{m|nl|U}} or {{m|nl|Uw}}) is now considered [[old-fashioned]] and no longer compulsory. In religious contexts, it is still often capitalized when addressing God.
* In verbs whose second and third persons singular are distinct, {{m|nl||u}} may be construed with either of them. In formal context, the second person form is generally preferred except for the verb {{m|nl|hebben||to have}}. Thus predominantly {{m|nl||u}} {{m|nl|bent}}, {{m|nl|kunt}}, {{m|nl|wilt}}, {{m|nl|zult}}, whereas {{m|nl||u}} {{m|nl|heeft}} is more common than (or at least equally common as) {{m|nl||u}} {{m|nl|hebt}}.

Gordon, ''The Letter Names of the Latin Alphabet'' ([[w:University of California Press|University of California Press]], 1973; volume 9 of ''University of California Publications: Classical Studies''), part III: “Summary of the Ancient Evidence”, page 32: "Clearly there is no question or doubt about the names of the vowels A, E, I, O, U. They are simply long A, long E, etc. (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū). Nor is there any uncertainty with respect to the six mutes B, C, D, G, P, T. Their names are bē, cē, dē, gē, pē, tē (each with a long E). Or about H, K, and Q: they are hā, kā, kū—each, again, with a long vowel sound."

==Sicilian==

===Pronunciation===
* {{IPA|scn|/u/}} {{q|stressed}}
* {{IPA|scn|/ʊ/}} {{q|unstressed}}

===Etymology 1===

====Letter====
{{head|scn|letter|lower case||upper case|U|}}

# {{Latn-def|scn|letter|21}}

===Etymology 2===
From the lenition of {{m|scn|lu}}, from the apheresis of {{inh|scn|VL.||*illu}}, from {{inh|scn|la|illum}}, from {{m|la|ille}}.

====Alternative forms====
* {{alter|scn|lu||liquid form}}

====Article====
{{head|scn|articles|g=m-s|f|a|plural|i}}

# {{lb|scn|masculine singular definite article}} [[the]]
#: {{syn|scn|lu}}

=====Usage notes=====
* As for other Romance languages, such as Neapolitan or Portuguese, Sicilian definite articles have undergone a consonant lenition that has led to the phonetic fall of the initial ''l''. The use of this illiquid variant has not yet made the use of liquid variants disappear, but today it is still the prevalent use in speech and writing.
* In the case of the production of literary texts, such as singing or poetry, or of formal and institutional texts, resorting to "liquid articles" and "liquid articulated prepositions" confers greater euphony to the text, although it may sound a form of courtly recovery.
* Illiquid definite articles can be phonetically absorbed by the following noun. I.e: ''l'arancinu'' (liquid) and ''ârancinu'' (illiquid).
