Esperanto is written in a
Latin alphabet of twenty-eight letters, upper and lower case. This is supplemented by
punctuation marks and by various
logograms, such as the
numerals 0-9, currency signs such as $, and
mathematical symbols.Twenty-two of the letters are identical in form to letters of the
English alphabet (q, w, x, and y being omitted). The remaining six have
diacritic marks,
ĉ,
ĝ,
ĥ,
ĵ,
ŝ, and
ŭ (that is, c, g, h, j, and s
circumflex, and u
breve). The full alphabet is: With the exception of c (= [ts]) and the diacritic letters, the letters have approximately the sound values of the
IPA. (See
Esperanto pronunciation.) There is a nearly one-to-one correspondence of letter to sound; the only significant exceptions being the sequence kz, as in ekzemple, which is frequently pronounced [gz]; and borrowed words such as ŭato that use ŭ for initial [w], which is normally an allophone of v. (See
Esperanto phonology.)
