Follow up question based on a question I asked earlier

I asked the question: Are there any other words with "ü"?

Now I have a different question. On my Spanish keyboard it has the "ç" key. I don't know any Spanish words that have this key. I looked up on the internet "Spanish words with the letter ç," but nothing useful came up. If you know any words, please put the Spanish word along with the English translation. If you have a website in mind, please make sure it has the English translation as well. smile

Carter: I would suggest you add the United States - International keyboard and use this instead of the Spanish one. It has everything you need to type Spanish accent marks and upside down ¿ and ¡ and ñ and Ñ with very minimal changes. - DilKen, Apr 28, 2017
I use the US International as well. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 28, 2017

The Ç doesn't exist in Spanish. We could have it it it comes from French or another language . I have seen it in Catalan sometimes. I remember a very famous soccer team called Barcelona and they call it BARÇA but again it's Catalan and not contemporary Spanish. Maybe the Ç existed in old Spanish but not nowadays.


Some French descendants could have problems if their surnames have a Ç, it's true .

Carter: here is a link for you.

c - cedilla usage in various languages - English Wiki version

Spanish Wiki version of above article

The letter ?ç? (c-cedilla)—which was first used in Old Spanish—is now obsolete in Spanish, having merged with ?z? in a process similar to that of ?x? and ?j?. Old Spanish coraçon, cabeça, fuerça became modern corazón, cabeza, fuerza.

Yes, it doesnt exist in Spanish anymore, although it survives in other languages like Catalan. The letter "z" won the race.
