¡NONE! As Early Latin used only , for both the vowels /i, u/ & the
corresponding approximant consonants /y, w/, you'd use your ordinary & for
Early Latin; when the consonants acquired separate letters during the
Medieval (or Classical) period, those were written with <J> & <V>
(which—anciently—stood for the consonants /y, w/)—this practice of using <J>
& <V> for the Latin consonants in focus is now widespread, anyhow. So, for
Latin, you'd use & for the vowels in all periods (also—for earlier
Latin—for the derivative consonants), while <J> & <V> are employed for the
derivative consonants (beginning with the Classical period). That wouldn't
do for English, because <J> & <V> are used for entirely different consonants
(voiced alveopalatal affricate & voiced labiodental fricative, respectively),
the letters we should use (for English & for romanization of foreign
languages) are <Y> & <W>!
Thank You!
