Notes[edit]

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 Latin of the Roman classical period did not use lower case, punctuation, or interword spacing, although an interpunct (·) was occasionally used to separate words.
↑ The Latin letter I of the Roman classical period served as both a vowel and consonant. The J form was initially used as a flourish. Gian Giorgio Trissino was the first to distinguish I and J as separate letters in 1124 using I to represent the vowel and J to represent the consonant.
↑ The Spanish letter Ñ (lower case ñ) is found in the C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block.^[3]
↑ The French letter Œ (lower case œ) is found in the Latin étendu A Unicode block.^[4]
↑ The German lower case letter ß is found in the C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block^[3] while the German upper case letter ẞ is found in the Latin Extended Additional Unicode block.^[5]
↑ The Latin letter U of the Roman classical period was styled as V and served as both a vowel and consonant. During the Middle Ages, the form U was also used. The distinction of U and V as individual letters with U to represent the vowel and V to represent the consonant gradually evolved between 1386 and 1762.
↑ The letter W does not appear in the Latin of the Roman classical period. The use of two V's or two U's to represent the labial–velar approximant sound of Old High German and Old English evolved in the early modern period and eventually became the modern letter W.
↑ ^8.0 ^8.1 The addition of the two Latin letters Y to represent the Greek letter upsilon (Y) and Z to represent the Greek letter zeta (Ζ) expanded the Latin alphabet to 23 letters.
↑ The French lower case letter ÿ is found in the Commandes C1 et supplément Latin-1 Unicode block^[6] while the French upper case letter Ÿ is found in the Latin étendu A Unicode block.^[4]
↑ Roman numerals were used during the Roman classical period and throughout Europe well into the Late Middle Ages. The Western Church avoided the use of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system believing them to be a polytheistic and Islamic influence.
↑ The number zero (0) cannot be represented in Roman numerals. The Hindu–Arabic numeral system with the numeral 0 was popularized in Europe with Liber Abaci by Leonardo de Pisa (Fibonacci) published posthumously in 1202.
↑ Modern Latin uses a subset of punctuation marks and symbols borrowed from modern languages.
