According to David Crystal (in The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language), eng has been designed by Alexander Gill the Elder in 1619.
- Meanwhile, the page on Benjamin Franklin's phonetic alphabet implies he invented it. I'm not sure which is right, but there seems to be good online evidence that BF did at least use it in his designed alphabet, with its current IPA meaning, so it seems it was not invented for IPA use. --Rschmertz 04:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose Eng should be a DAB page. 132.205.45.110
- Comment You don't think it would be better to have a dab page at Eng (disambiguation), with Eng being about the letter? I think putting a dab page at Eng would only be appropriate if there were multiple things actually called "eng", not just sometimes abbreviated to "eng". --Ptcamn 03:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- There;s at least one; see Chang and Eng. Septentrionalis 04:48, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
