The Basque alphabet is a Latin alphabet used to write the Basque language. It consists of 27 letters. == List of letters == The letters of the Basque alphabet are the 26 letters of the ISO basic Latin alphabet plus the ''ñ'' (and the ''ç'', as a variant of the ''c''). This is the whole list,〔 Euskaltzaindia: (Rule no. 17 for the Standard Basque, ''Names of the letters in the Basque alphabet'' ), Rule passed on 25 November 1994. Retrieved 2010-10-22.〕 plus the IPA phonology:〔() Basque alphabet and phonology〕 All letters and digraphs represent unique phonemes. The main exception is when ''l'' or ''n'' are preceded by ''i'', that in most dialects palatalizes their sound into /ʎ/ and /ɲ/, even if these are not written. Hence, ''Ikurriña'' can also be written ''Ikurrina'' without changing the sound, while the proper name ''Ainhoa'' requires the mute ''h'' to break the palatalization of the ''n''. ''H'' is mute in most regions, but is pronounced in many places in the Northeast, which is the main reason for its existence in the Basque alphabet. Its acceptance was a matter of contention during the standardization since the speakers of the most extended dialects had to learn where to place these ''hs, silent for them. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Basque alphabet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
