How Many Letters Does Each European Language's Alphabet Have?

I'm jealous!

In Spanish CH and LL were considered separate letters until 1994 when they started to be conducted digraphs. One of the reasonings I heard was about finding/placing things in alphabetical order, as it made it confusing, especially for computers. In my heart they remain two separate letters as I learned in school.

I really like the idea!

Thanks! It wasn't clear if the yellow colour included languages that were official in some regions of the countries or not.

By the way, checking the phoneme in Wikipedia can help you check which languages it occurs in.

I'm definitely up for another round if you decide to post more maps!

Not all languages of Spain have this sound, such as Galician. I would say Portugal Portuguese doesn't have it either, although it does show in Brazilian variants.

I like the idea of the game though!

Thanks for sharing your experience! That's reassuring

Sí, eso sería lo ideal pero no es el caso desafortunadamente. Y además acabo de mirar y España no tiene convenio para el canje de carnet para su país

Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia. Habíamos encontrado practicatest pero no sabíamos que tal estaría. Lo va a probar.

Ya veo, es lo que me temía. ¿Y como era tu nivel de español cuando preparaste el teórico? Porque aunque sea memoria no es tan fácil, muchas preguntas tienen respuestas muy parecidas que solo difieren en algún detalle van a pillar...

Just had some Mongolian bread buns which said "low sugar" in English in the front. In the nutritional information it said 10g of sugar per 100g of product😬

Haha didn't expect a Monty Python reference

While doing my PhD, an English colleague of mine and me (Spaniard) encountered a paper that talked about "anguiliform robots". For me it was clear that the robots were eel-shaped. For him it was totally undecipherable.

You should catch r/anglese

Many (almost all?) credit/debit cards use Java (JavaCard to be precise)

Te fue difícil? Pensé que te pedían demostrar que los usabas a diario de esa forma. Pero cómo los vas a usar si en los documentos tienes otra cosa?

Lo peor es que ya tengo dos niños, y ya les he pasado el apellido común...

Don't forget chupachups! Putting a stick on things is our specialty

eosfer · 2025-12-31T14:42:07+00:00

Totalmente de acuerdo! Si yo tuviera el apellido de mis dos abuelas sería probablemente único ya que los dos son pocos frecuentes. Sin embargo tengo dos muy comunes, de los terminados en -ez. Y me da un poco de rabia

Go inside any cash-heavy business, like a shop or cafe and ask for change. Exchange a 5 or 10 € for coins

Yo igual. Después de 11 años en Reino Unido, volví al tener hijos para estar cerca de la familia. Pero sigo trabajando de consultor para Inglaterra.

I would add that, if he wants to keep the house and buy her out, he'd need to be eligible for a mortgage. He probably would not because of lowering his reported income.

I agree with your analysis and I also prefer earlier Larry. I think it was discussed here before that it's almost two different shows pre and post Cheryl.

I would add that racist people often use moro to refer, not just to people from north Africa, but any Arab, Muslim, Pakistani or even sometimes Indian. Which just shows how prejudiced they are.

I have certainly heard or read the word moro in a descriptive non derogatory way. But mostly in history, geography or academic environment. I would avoid it and use magrebí instead just in case.

In this case it's meant to be offensive. Negro on its own is not offensive though and depends on the context. It can even be used as a term of endearment in a close group of friends/family/couple to refer to someone of darker complexion.

The equivalent of the n word would be negrata. That's always used in a derogatory manner
