I have been looking on the web, and found that Irish probably descended from a language that used symbols called the Ogham(?) Alphabet. Its the same thing with the Chinese letters/symbols being completely different to what i would say is English letters for example ..A, B, C...
Those Ogham letters were translated to English letters and i think that it is there that the original problems occur which give us this anomaly.

Is that clearer..in a confusing way lol.
