Latin alphabets

A Latin or Roman alphabet is an alphabet that uses the letters of the Latin script, the basis of the original Roman Latin alphabet. Extension of the Latin script may be through adding diacritics to existing letters, fusing letters together into ligatures, adding new letters, or treating pairs or triplets of letters as units (digraphs and trigraphs). These added letters are often given a place in the alphabet by defining an alphabetical order or collation sequence, which can vary between languages. Some, especially those with diacritics, are not considered distinct letters for this purpose: French é and German ö, for example, are not used in the commonly quoted alphabet sequences. In some languages, digraphs are included in the collation sequence (eg Hungarian CS, Welsh RH).The ISO basic Latin alphabet includes the 26 basic letters that are included in most alphabets. The International Phonetic Alphabet is also derived mainly from the Latin script. The tables below summarize and compare some of the alphabets. In this article, the scope of the word "alphabet" is broadened to include letters with tone marks and other diacritics used to represent a wide range of orthographic traditions found in modern and classical literature, without special regard as to whether the modified letters have their own traditional alphabetic place or are interfiled, or whether the letters are in the sequence in the table or elsewhere.
