The traditional Latin Alphabet
In this table you can see all letters which are used in the traditional, romanic Latin Alphabet. The headers of the columns show the basic letters from the modern Latin Alphabet. Thereunder you can see the letters from the modern Latin Alphabet which can be found in the traditional Latin alphabet. Under this, you can see all letters derived from the basic Latin Alphabet.
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | | | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | | V | | X | Y | Z |
In the traditional Latin Alphabet not all of the 26 basic letters from the modern Latin Alphabet were used. The letters J, W, and U (e.g. the difference between I and J, U and V as well as W and VV) was added to the Latin Alphabet at the Middle Ages. In the frequeny table, there is a frequency for the letters V and U as well, because today Latin texts make a difference between U and V.
