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.
