Editing Y (section)

==Name==
In Latin, Y was named ''I graeca'' ("Greek I"), since the classical Greek sound {{IPA|/y/}}, similar to modern German ''ü'' or French ''u'', was not a native sound for Latin speakers, and the letter was initially only used to spell foreign words. This history has led to the standard modern names of the letter in Romance languages – ''i grego'' in Galician, ''i grega'' in Catalan, ''i grec'' in French and Romanian, and ''i greca'' in Italian – all meaning "Greek I". The names ''igrek'' in Polish and ''{{lang|vi|i gờ-rét}}'' in Vietnamese are both phonetic borrowings of the French name. In Dutch, the letter is either only found in loanwords, or is practically equivalent to the digraph [[IJ (digraph)|IJ]]. Hence, both ''Griekse ij'' and ''i-grec'' are used, as well as ''ypsilon''. In Spanish, Y is also called ''i griega''; however, in the twentieth century, the shorter name ''ye'' was proposed and was officially recognized as its name in 2010 by the [[Real Academia Española]], although its original name is still accepted.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rae.es/rae/gestores/gespub000018.nsf/(voAnexos)/arch8100821B76809110C12571B80038BA4A/$File/CuestionesparaelFAQdeconsultas.htm#novOrto2|title=Propuesta de un solo nombre para cada una de las letras del abecedario|year=2010|editor=Real Academia Española|url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101230134236/http://www.rae.es/rae/gestores/gespub000018.nsf/(voAnexos)/arch8100821B76809110C12571B80038BA4A/$File/CuestionesparaelFAQdeconsultas.htm#novOrto2|archive-date=2010-12-30}}</ref>

The original Greek name, υ ψιλόν (''[[upsilon]]''), has also been adapted into several modern languages. For example, it is called ''Ypsilon'' in German, ''ypsilon'' in Dutch, and ''{{lang|is|ufsilon}} i'' in Icelandic. Both names are used in Italian, ''ipsilon'' or ''i greca''; likewise in Portuguese, ''ípsilon'' or ''i grego''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.omniglot.com/writing/portuguese.htm|title=Portuguese (Português)|website=Omniglot|access-date=May 12, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150909165840/http://www.omniglot.com/writing/portuguese.htm|archive-date=September 9, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> In Faroese, the letter is simply called ''seinna i'' ("later i") because of its later place in the alphabet. France has a commune called [[Y, Somme|Y]], pronounced {{IPA|/i/|audio=LL-Q150 (fra)-Jules78120-i.wav}}, whose inhabitants go by the demonym ''upsilonienne''/''upsilonien'' in feminine and masculine form respectively.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-11-23 |title=Bienvenue à Y, le village au nom le plus court de France |url=https://www.tf1info.fr/societe/video-insolite-bienvenue-a-y-le-village-au-nom-le-plus-court-de-france-2170878.html |access-date=2024-01-16 |website=TF1 INFO |language=fr}}</ref>
