Roman alphabet
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
The Roman alphabet is the basis for many modern-day languages. It comes from ancient Latin, but many languages are written in it.
The Latin alphabet used by the Romans:
| Symbol: | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | V | X | Y | Z |
| Latin name of letter: | ā | bē | cē | dē | ē | ef | gē | hā | ī | kā | el | em | en | ō | pē | qū | er | es | tē | ū | ex | ī Graeca | zēta |
| Latin name (IPA): | [aː] | [beː] | [keː] | [deː] | [eː] | [ɛf] | [geː] | [haː] | [iː] | [kaː] | [ɛl] | [ɛm] | [ɛn] | [oː] | [peː] | [kuː] | [ɛr] | [ɛs] | [teː] | [uː] | [ɛks] | [iː 'graɪka] | ['zeːta] |
Some other languages have different characters based on this alphabet. A few are: á, é, í, ó, ẹ, ị, ọ, ụ, ã, ả, ẻ, ỉ, ỏ, ủ, ñ and đ. A few languages that use characters like that are Finnish, Esperanto, Czech, Polish, Romanian, Vietnamese, and Igbo.
