A Latin or Roman alphabet is one of many alphabets that use the letters of the Latin script. These letters formed the basis of the original Roman Latin alphabet. Some letters of the Latin script were altered slightly for use in particular languages, although the main letters are largely the same. There were several general types of alterations made to extend the alphabet's uses, depending on the language: diacritics could be added to existing letters; two letters could be fused together into ligatures; additional letters could be inserted; or pairs or triplets of letters could be treated as units (digraphs and trigraphs). Any additional letters were often given a place in the alphabet by defining an alphabetical order or collation sequence, which can vary between languages. Some of the additions, especially letters which only have diacritics added to them, were not considered distinct letters for this purpose. For example, the French é and the German ö, are not listed separately in their respective alphabet sequences. In some languages, digraphs are included in the collation sequence (e.g. 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, without regard to whether or how they are sequenced in their alphabet or the table. ==Usage of the ISO basic Latin alphabet== (詳細はAfrikaans, Basque,() Breton, Catalan,() Czech,() Danish,() Dutch,() English,() Estonian, Filipino,() Finnish, French,() German,(), Greenlandic, Hungarian,() Interlingua, Karakalpak, Kurdish, Modern Latin, Malay, Norwegian,() Pan-European, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak,() Spanish,() Swedish, Võro, Walloon(), Xhosa, and Zulu alphabets include all 26 letters, ''at least'' in their largest version. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) includes all 26 letters in their lowercase forms, although ''g'' is always single-storey (''ɡ'') in the IPA and never double-storey (8px). 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「Latin alphabets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
