J, U, and W are sometimes considered pretenders. Late additions, at least.

J is just a stylized I. U is a variation of V. W is of course just a double U.

G is also a relatively recent entry, if you go back to the Romans from which the Latin/English alphabet is derived.




Q also. K can be used instead.
