'''Jamie Langley''' (born [[21 November]] [[1983]] in [[Normanton, West Yorkshire|Normanton]], [[West Yorkshire]]) is an [[England|English]] [[rugby league]] player.
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the [[Greek alphabet|Greek]] [[Iota]] (Ι), [[Latin alphabet|Latin]] [[I]], [[Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]] [[І]], [[Coptic alphabet|Coptic]] [[iauda]] ({{unicode|Ⲓ}}) and [[Gothic alphabet|Gothic]] [[eis]] ({{unicode|𐌹}}).


His position of choice is [[Rugby league positions#Loose forward|loose forward]] though he can also play in the [[Rugby league positions#Second-row forwards|second row]] for the [[Super League (Europe)|Super League]] side [[Bradford Bulls]] in [[England]].
==Origins==
{{Semitic alphabet}}
<div>Yodh is thought to have originated with a pictograph of a hand, ultimately deriving from [[Proto-Semitic]] [[:wikt:Appendix:Proto-Semitic *yad-|*yad-]]. It may be related to the Egyptian [[Egyptian hieroglyphs|hieroglyphic]] of an arm, <hiero> a </hiero> .</div></div>


==Hebrew Yud==
==Bradford Bulls==
In 2005 he made 28 appearances and was a member of the Bulls side that took the Grand Final against Leeds.

|}
===Pronunciation===
In both Biblical and modern [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], Yud represents a [[palatal approximant]] ({{IPA2|j}}).


===Variations===
===Awards===
He was given 3 club awards for his performances during the 2006 season which included Top Tackler.
Yud is a [[mater lectionis]], like [[Aleph]], [[He (letter)|He]], and [[Waw (letter)|Vav]]. At the end of words with a vowel, it represents the formation of a [[diphthong]], such as {{IPA|/ei/}}, {{IPA|/ai/}}, or {{IPA|/oi/}}.


In 2006 Jamie was awarded 3 club awards for his performances throughout the season, these included; The Peter Lovett Trophy for Top Tackler and the Telegraph and Argus Best Average Award, with 7.39. He also got Head Coach Steve McNamara’s vote as Prized Bull.
===Significance===
In [[gematria]], Yud represents the number ten.


Langley signed a new 3 year contract on 3rd April 2007 to keep at the Bulls until 2010. Langley missed the later part of 2007 though injury.
As a [[Prefix (linguistics)|prefix]], it designates the third person singular (or plural, with a [[Waw (letter)|Vav]] as a [[suffix]]) in the future tense.


==Representative==
As a [[suffix]], it indicates first person singular possessive; ''av'' (father) becomes ''avi'' (my father).
===England Academy===
Langley also captained the England Academy team that famously defeated the Australian schoolboys side.


====In Judaism====
====Great Britain====
In June 2007 Langley was called up to the [[Great Britain national rugby league team|Great Britain]] squad for the [[Test match]] against [[France national rugby league team|France]] <ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/6744909.stm|title=Eight new faces in Lions squad|publisher=BBC|date=2007-06-12|accessdate=2007-06-12}}</ref> He was also called up for the Great Britain Train on Sqaud for the test series with New Zealand.
Two Yuds in a row designate the name of God [[Names of God in Judaism#Adonai|Adonai]] and in pointed texts are written with the vowels of Adonai; this is done as well with the [[Tetragrammaton]].


===England===
As Yud is the smallest letter, much [[Kabbalah|kabbalistic]] and mystical significance is attached to it. According to the [[Gospel of Matthew]] [[Jesus]] mentioned it during the [[Antithesis of the Law]] when he says: "One jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Jot, or iota, refers to the letter Yud; it was often overlooked by scribes because of its size and position as a [[mater lectionis]]. In modern Hebrew, the phrase "tip of the Yud" refers to a small and insignificant thing, and someone who "worries about the tip of a Yud" is someone who is picky and meticulous about small details.

Much [[Kabbalah|kabbalistic]] and mystical significance is also attached to it because of its gematria value as ten, which is an important number in Judaism, and its place in the name of God. See [http://www.inner.org/hebleter/yud.htm The Mystical Significance of the Hebrew Letters - Yud]

==Arabic yāʼ==
The letter is named ''yāʼ'', and is written is several ways depending in its position in the word:
{{Arabic alphabet shapes|ي}}


==Statistics==
Yāʼ is pronounced in two ways. As a consonant, it is pronounced as a [[palatal approximant]] {{IPA|/j/}}, typically at the beginnings of words. In the middle and end of words, the yāʼ usually (though not always) becomes a [[vowel length|long]] [[close front unrounded vowel]] {{IPA|/iː/}}.
===Representative career===

{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:75%;" width="60%"
As a vowel, yāʼ can serve as the "seat" of the [[hamza]]: ئ.
|-

! Year !! Team !! Matches !! Tries !! Goals !! Field Goals !! Points
Yāʼ serves several functions in the Arabic language. Yāʼ with a [[shadda]] is particularly used to turn a noun into an adjective,called نسبة. For instance مصر ''Miṣr'' ([[Egypt]]) → مصري ''Miṣriyy'' (Egyptian). The transformation can be more abstract; for instance, موضوع ''mawdū`'' (matter, object) → موضوعي ''mawdū`iyy'' ([[objectivity|objective]]). Still other uses of this function can be a bit further from the root: إشتراك ''ishtirāk'' (cooperation) → إشتراكي ''ishtirākiyy'' ([[socialism|socialist]]); this is often used for creation of native terms for political philosophies: ''ḥurr'' (free) becomes ''ḥurriyy'' ([[liberalism|liberal]]); ''muḥāfaẓa'' (guarding, preservation) becomes ''muḥāfaẓiyy'' ([[conservatism|conservative]]).
|-

A form similar to but distinguished from yāʼ is the ''ʾalif maqṣūra'' (broken [[aleph|alif]]), with the form ى. It indicates a final long [[open front unrounded vowel]] {{IPA|/aː/}}.

Typically, Egyptians do not use dots under final yāʼ, both in handwriting and in print, resulting in substantial confusion with alif maqṣūra to those not accustomed to the practice

In the [[Persian alphabet]] "Yodh" is written and pronounced a bit different from Arabic and has a different code in [[Unicode]].
