Slovenian alphabet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Slovenian alphabet (in Times New Roman , Arial , Lucida Console and Monotype Corsiva)

The Slovenian alphabet is a variant of the Latin alphabet for the Slovenian language . It replaced the Bohoričica based on German script in the 19th century and was derived from the Croatian Gajica , which is why the Slovenian spelling is also called Gajica .

The Slovenian alphabet contains 25 letters.

a , b , c , č , d , e , f , g , h , i , j , k , l , m , n , o , p , r , s , š , t , u , v , z , ž ,
A , B , C , Č , D , E , F , G , H , I , J , K , L , M , N , O , P , R , S , Š , T , U , V , Z , Ž .

In Wikipedia, the letters Č, Š, Ž are encoded as follows:

  • Č: & # 268; (large), & # 269; (small)
  • Š: & # 352; (large), & # 353; (small)
  • Ž: & # 381; (large), & # 382; (small)

They are pronounced like this:

  • Č as in German Tsch in "Klatschen",
  • Š like German sch in "schade",
  • Ž like (French) g in “garage”.

Because foreign names are not transcribed in the Slovenian language, but rather adopted in the original version, other characters from the Latin alphabet are used - this creates the expanded version of the Slovenian alphabet. Diacritical marks (such as ä, ö, ü, ç, ê, ñ, ř etc.) are simply in the order of the Slovenian alphabet as if they were not special characters. Only ć and đ follow - as in Croatian and Bosnian - only after č and d. Accordingly, the order of all letters used in the Slovenian language is as follows:

ABC Č (Ć) D (Đ) EFGHIJKLMNOP (Q) RS Š TUV (W) (X) (Y) Z Ž
