ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri Why did Mussolini ban the letter H? The short answer is idiocy, the longer answer is partly for anty-british propaganda partly as a psicologycal tool of control like in orwel's 1984. We have a shorter alphabet in italian j k w x y are missing and are considered foreigner letters, as h is always mute and has a narrow use he declared it as foreigner letter too, so to ban as symbol of the english language. He also banned the handshake beause it was for "faggots", the christian calendar so the years would start from the fascist golpe, and also changed the verbal courtesy form... well also freedom of speach and other basic rights but I was just naming the odd ones. That sounds kind of weird, especially since Mussolini was allied with Hitler, whose name begins with H. Maybe he just gave it a hackneyed accent, 'itler? Mussolini's wife's name had an H in it, too.
