James Frusetta purports to come up with some Other J's:
> Pan-Slavic Inc., where a "j" is pretty much just like an English "j" but
> more rare.
Picky, picky, picky!
> AFAIK, true for Russian and the South Slavics.
Cyrilic has a _j_? How would anyone ever know? ;-)
Weren't we looking for lookalikes rather than soundalikes, anyway?
Otherwise, we'll have to consider English G (when it feels like it),
which will get us on to Dutch G, leading in turn to German/Scots/Gaelic
"ch", which will get us back on to Iberian style J. Phew!
Oh, and I feebly surrender the war of the puns, before someone
innocent (?) gets hurt.
Lamely,
Alex.
