There clearly IS a "v" in the Latin alphabet, e.g. veni, vidi, vici.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veni,_vidi,_vici There, is however, no "v" sound in Latin. You have to use "u" instead when you see the letter "v". Remember the double-u "W"!
Also remember the schoolboy lament:
Latin is a language, as dead as it can be.
First, it killed the Romans. Now it's killing me!
