Jule

SerbianЈунЈул
Hebrewיונייולי
RussianИюньИюль
EnglishJuneJuly

In all languages there's a difference of one letter. So why doesn't English have June and Jule or Juny and July?


Oh (edit): I totally forgot the original, which is very important:

LatinIūniusIūlius

Dear anonymous,

Thanks for the comment. Please sign your name next time in some way, i want to know who you are. Thanks in advance.

French and Italian are indeed strange, especially considering the fact that they developed directly from Latin, from which the names of all months originate. Sorry, i don't have anything more to say about it now.

I'll try to check their etymology ASAP.
