I have received a letter from petermc@math.mit.edu commenting my article
<1992Nov9.182228.22884@ugle.unit.no> where I write that also the Kurdish
uses the ^j letter for the same sound as in Esperanto. He writes:

>The Kurdish language did not start to use the Latin alphabet until the Turks
>started to use it in the 1920s, long after Zamenhof devised Esperanto.

Well, I didn't expect Zamenhof to borrow the letter from this language :-)
But does anyone know if the Kurdish borrowed the letter from Esperanto?
