Proposed in 1908 as part of the new Latvian spelling by the scientific commission headed by K. Mīlenbahs, which was accepted and began to be taught in schools in 1909. Prior to that, Latvian had been written in German Fraktur, and sporadically in Cyrillic.

Letter

Usage notes
The letter E/e (like its long counterpart Ē/ē) represent two sounds, —  — and  —. In principle, is used when there is a palatal element (the vowels i, ī, e, ē, the diphthongs ie, ei, and the palatal consonants j, ķ, ģ, ļ, ņ, š, ž, č, dž, and, in the old spelling, ŗ) either in the same or in the following syllable; otherwise,  is used. Unfortunately, some historical changes have obscured this pattern by removing some previously existing palatal elements; as a result of that, for a number of words the actual pronunciation of the letter e — or  — must be memorized.

Usage notes

 * Long is normally spelt . Before a single consonant it may be spelt, but this is restricted to internationalisms (e.g. ).
 * Apart from unstressed syllables, the pronunciation also occurs in the function words ;, , ; , , ; . Otherwise these vowels are spelt  or.
