The History of the French Language

According to David Sachs, the French innovated the use of the Latin Y and they came up with like that consonantish sound at the front of a word. And apparently they also don't do it very much. One example is the plural word for the body part eyes, not the letter I like the eyes we see with. In middle French that was spelled Y-E-U-L-X. It's doing that Y consonant thing at the front.
