E: Letter of the Latin alphabet
    For the drug sometimes referred to E, see Ecstasy.

In English it has two main sounds when it is spoken. Usually it is a short E (ĕ), but sometimes it is a long E (ē).

One more thing in English is the so-called magic E, also known as the silent E. That is when a silent e at the end of a word makes the previous vowel long. Examples: morpheme, which is pronounced as morphēm, and Name which is pronounced Nām.

Typographic types of E

The types of E include (but may not be limited to) capital E lower-case e é È è Ê ê Ë É ë Ě ě Ē ē Ĕ ĕ Ė ė Ę ę

None of these different types are used in English, except occasionally É/é for some French words such fiancé, café, and crème brûlée.

Meanings for E

These meanings are for E/e as a separate letter.
