The Slovak alphabet has more letters than the English alphabet

The Slovak alphabet has 46 letters, compared to English’s 26. Unlike English, Slovak treats certain character combinations, including diphthongs (ia, ie, iu) and digraphs (dz, dž, ch), as distinct letters with their own place in the alphabet.

Could eventually create a note on the difference between diphthongs and digraphs.

Slovak alphabet: a, á, ä, b, c, č, d, ď, dz, dž, e, é, f, g, h, ch, i, í, ia, ie, iu, j, k, l, ĺ, ľ, m, n, ň, o, ó, ô, p, q, r, ŕ, s, š, t, ť, u, ú, v, w, x, y, ý, z, ž
