double v makes more sense w
The right way
K, Y and W don't exist in Portuguese. So we localized the English pronunciation "double u".
Wait what? Then how do Germans name "v"?
fow
ᗯ = Double U
the letter 'u' - to my knowledge - was a relatively new addition to the english language
the letter 'v' used to hold the name of U but then smth happened later that caused the introduction of 'u'
and so when 'w' was created, 'u' didn't exist yet, so it used to be just fine.
JK
so apparently V and U in the roman alphabet was the same letter.
ᗯ = Double U
and that's apparently called "Gu" according to google.
As a kid, I always thought it was kind of cool how saying "w" sounded like you were saying "double u"
English: Double u (2 u)
Italian: Doppia vu (2 v)
So it's language dependent
