Appendix:Latin script
The term Roman script or Roman alphabet is the term used in England for what is known in the United States as the Latin script or Latin alphabet.
Not to be confused with a roman font in typography (which remains uncapitalized), having ordinary upright letterforms, in contrast to more cursive, sloped italic fonts.

Letters
The basic modern Roman alphabet is composed of 26 uppercase letters (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ) and 26 lowercase versions of the same letters (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz), resulting in the following pairs:
- A a B b C c D d E e F f G g H h I i J j K k L l M m N n O o P p Q q R r S s T t U u V v W w X x Y y Z z
Varieties of letters
Two or more letters may be joined in single glyphs, forming ligatures. (ex.: the letters a and e joined together form æ) Finally, diacritics may be added to letters or ligatures. (ex.: an acute accent may be added to the letter o, forming ó)
