    Gothic Lettering (also "blackletter", Old

    English calligraphy, etc)

    To jump straight into doing Gothic


    lettering, go to the Gothic alphabet tutorial
    pages.Or read on for more information and
    links about the different varieties, uses and
    history of Gothic script.

    The Roman alphabet, also called the Latin


    alphabet, is the most widely used alphabet
    in the world. You’re reading it right now.

    The Roman alphabet has two different forms


    of each letter: the minuscule or lower-case
    form ...

    abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw
    xyz

    Spanish orthography is the orthography used


    in the Spanish language. The alphabet uses
    the Latin script. The spelling is fairly phonemic,
    especially in comparison to more opaque
    orthographies like English and Irish, having a
    relatively consistent mapping
    of graphemes to phonemes; in other words, the
    pronunciation of a given Spanish-language word
    can largely be predicted from its spelling and to
    a slightly lesser extent vice-versa. Notable
    features of Spanish punctuation include the lack
    of the serial comma and the inverted question marks and exclamation points: ¿ ¡.

    The Old English Latin alphabet—though it had


    no standard orthography—generally consisted of
    24 letters, and was used for writing Old
    English from the 9th to the 12th centuries. Of
    these letters, 20 were directly adopted from
    the Latin alphabet, two were modified Latin letters
    (Æ, Ð), and two developed from the runic
    alphabet (Ƿ, Þ). The letters K, Q and Z were not in
    the spelling of native English words.
