There's no actual letter i because Hebrew has a completely different alphabet.

In fact, the Hebrew alphabet does not have symbols for vowels. Hebrew vowels are indicated by adding diacritical marks (dots and dashes) to the letters. There is a Hebrew vowel mark with the sound EE and another combination that can make the sound "eye".


  1. EE is represented by a single dot under a letter, or a dot plus the letter Yud (אִ or אִי)
  2. EYE is represented by a dash under a letter followed by the letter Yud (אַי)
  3. The English short i has no equivalent in Hebrew

Yes, it has existed for thousands of years, evolved and is still in modern use. It is also the official language of the country of Israel.
