The Hungarian alphabet (Hungarian: magyar ábécé, pronounced [ˈmɒɟɒr ˈaːbeːt͡seː]) is an extension of the Latin alphabet used for writing the Hungarian language. The alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet , with several added variations of letters, consisting 44 letters.
The letters q, w, x, y are only included in the extended Hungarian alphabet and they are rarely used in Hungarian words, where they are normally replaced with their phonetic equivalents kv, v, ksz, i (only the x is relatively common, e.g. taxi). However y occurs in several native digraphs, which are treated as letters by themselves: gy, ly, ny, ty.
The alphabet did not contain letters for the phonemes dz and dzs of modern Hungarian, since these are relatively recent developments in the language's history. Nor did it have letters corresponding to the Latin q, w, x and y. The modern revitalization movement has created symbols for these; in Unicode encoding, they are represented as ligatures.
The braille alphabet used to write Hungarian is based on the international norm for the 27 basic letters of the Latin script. However, the letters for q and z have been replaced, to increase the symmetry of the accented letters of the Hungarian alphabet, which are largely innovative to Hungarian braille. [1] [2]
The lists and tables below summarize and compare the letter inventories of some of the Latin-script alphabets.In this article, the scope of the word "alphabet" is broadened to include letters with tone marks, and other diacritics used to represent a wide range of orthographic traditions, without regard to whether or how they are sequenced in their alphabet or the table.
The Hungarian Manual Alphabet (or a magyar ujjábécé in Hungarian) is used for fingerspelling in Hungarian Sign Language. The most common is the one-handed alphabet near the face, but an adapted LSF -style alphabet is sometimes employed.
Dz is the seventh letter of the Hungarian alphabet. It is called dzé (IPA:) as a letter of the alphabet, where it represents the voiced alveolar affricate phoneme /dz/. Dz and dzs were recognized as individual letters in the 11th edition of Hungarian orthography (1984). [6]
