I'm pleased you've decided to internationalise these, Domergue - as I was never going to dare! But nitpicking is another matter...you say A is the first letter of ''most'' variants of the Latin alphabet: I think you should therefore say which variants do not have A as the 1st letter - or boldly change 'most' to 'all'.

:Hi Ro. There are Latin alphabets which don't begin with A. It is at least the case in [http://www.omniglot.com/writing/somali.htm Somali] and in [http://www.omniglot.com/writing/arapaho.htm Arapaho].--[[User:Domergue Sumien|Domergue Sumien]] 18:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm pleased you've decided to internationalise these, Domergue - as I was never going to dare! But nitpicking is another matter...you say A is the first letter of most variants of the Latin alphabet: I think you should therefore say which variants do not have A as the 1st letter - or boldly change 'most' to 'all'.

Hi Ro. There are Latin alphabets which don't begin with A. It is at least the case in Somali and in Arapaho.--Domergue Sumien 18:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
