You can tell a lot about a country just from it's alphabet.

There's the letter A that's familiar but then there's a strange letter that looks like a 6. Just like Russians look human far away but close up they're the missing link.

The N and R are backwards just like everything else about Russia.

Once you learn to read it it's a hell of a lot better than Latin. Few to no digraphs/accents needed.

Q, W and Z are hardly ever used in Swedish and yet they're still there. And we have no letter for ɕ and ɧ. You don't have to be super-autistic about it and besides there's last names and historical names using "å" (Åbo, Åland etc.) so it might be worth keeping it around.

The term Latin alphabet may refer to either the alphabet used to write Latin (as described in this article), or other alphabets based on the Latin script, which is the basic set of letters common to the various alphabets descended from the classical Latin one, such as the English alphabet.

Our language and alphabet are atm latin. I think I would have preferred cyrillic, but we wanted to shape our country by the french model so.
>>
>>59410815
But we have barely had any Latin interaction since 272.

If it weren't for the forced ones made by the 19th century's ”intellectuals”, we would not have any French words in our language therefore be slightly more Slavic.
>>
>>59409320
>the symbols just happen to exactly correspond to the English alphabet
>>
>>59410961
I doubt that there would be a major difference. Our language pre 19th century was still very Latin in nature, and separation from other Latin countries doesn't mean the language will turn Slavic. Hungary for example has not had any interaction with Finland or Estonia for thousands of years.
