Sorbian alphabet
The Sorbian alphabet is based on the ISO basic Latin alphabet but uses diacritics such as the acute accent and the caron, making it similar to the Czech and Polish alphabets. The standard character encoding for the Sorbian alphabet is ISO 8859-2.
The alphabet is used for the Sorbian languages, although some letters are used in only one of the two languages.
Alphabet table
An earlier version of the Lower Sorbian alphabet included the use of the letters b́, ṕ, ḿ, ẃ and f́ to indicate palatalized labials. These have been replaced by bj, mj, pj, wj, and fj.Sorbian orthography also includes two digraphs:
Upper case | HTML code | Lower case | HTML code | Name | Usual phonetic value | Other phonetic values |
Ch | ch | cha | Upper word/root initially; otherwise Lower | |||
Dź | Dź | dź | dź | dźej/dźet |
The digraph ch follows h in alphabetical order.
