Note: The German alphabet consists 26 regular letters, 3 „Umlauts“ (mutated vowels: ä, ö, ü) and 1 ligation (double letter: ß - spoke as a „sharp s“).
And French doesn’t have é è ë û ê ç ô and ï?
Also ä ö ü for German. And Chinese is missing completely. I highly suspect this was written by an LLM.
I don’t think a LLM would be so wrong about it.
they’re really bad with numbers
How many r’s in an alphabet?
Does ř count?
Dunno, is it considered a separate letter?
Depends. Not according to OP, yes according to everyone else.
one i think
Tbf i’ve never heard of them being counted in the alphabet as separated letters, so 26 is the number i’ve always seen.
Then why count them for Germany?
Apparently OP made a separate note for German special letters but did not include them in the count in the list, it’s also 26. They could have made the specification for French too indeed, or not have made the one for German.
In some languages they count as diacritics, while in others they are separate letters.
For example, in Finnish, å, ä, and ö are independent letters. The dots don’t do anything special, just like in i.
