What's Up with Silent Letters?
Two thirds of English words contain silent letters not to mention names. And almost every letter of the alphabet is culpable. Some silent letters have a purpose. Trailing E's are are often diacritic letters that change the pronunciation of another letter. There there are digraphs, inert letters and empty letters.

Why Is Q Always Followed by U?
QU is a digraph, two letter that represent a single sound. There are many others digraphs English but the letter Q is the only one that appears only in a digraph. The QU digraph came to Englind in the Norman conquest. Before that the sound was represented by CW in English. But the beginning of the Q and U relationship goes all the way back the and Phonecian letter qoph and the Etruscan letter koppa.

Hawaiian's Tiny & Rushed Alphabet
When Protestant missionaries arrived in Hawaii in 1820 they were frustrated by the lack of a written language to help them teach the Hawaiians the lessons of the Bible in their native language. So they set about creating a written language beginning with the Latin alphabet. But to make it simple to learn they dropped many of the letters leaving only twelve, a diacritical mark and the okina character which indicates a pause within a word.
