Then why didn't they write K instead of C?
No wonder their empire fell.

Because there was no K in the beginning.

Then some pretentious faggots started quoting Greek whilst emulating the Greek letter kappa, and then their idiot successors couldn't pronounce shit. That's actually why their empire fell.

C originally comes from a semitic letter that represented a voiced sound [g], but Etruscs could not pronounce shit and used it for [k].

The best, after all, is the letter F. Originally it was for the sound W, but loletruscs used it for modern sound in the combination FH, and so it came to Latin, but without the H.

Etruscans pronounced shit better.

Voiced obstruents? Who the hell needs those? Aspirated and unaspirated is a much better distinction.

If having a written language that doesn't make sense brings down empires, maybe that's why the British one fell. The Americans better watch out.

K is badass Germanik, C is old-fashioned Roman.
Just try to replace all k-pronounced "c" letters with "k" and see what happens.

Ironically, since K was from Greek and C was native, among the Romans "K" was the more old-fashioned, classic, well cultured letter
