Spanish orthography is the orthography used

in the Spanish language. The alphabet uses
the Latin script. The spelling is fairly phonemic,
especially in comparison to more opaque
orthographies like English and Irish, having a
relatively consistent mapping
of graphemes to phonemes; in other words, the
pronunciation of a given Spanish-language word
can largely be predicted from its spelling and to
a slightly lesser extent vice-versa. Notable
features of Spanish punctuation include the lack
of the serial comma and the inverted question marks and exclamation points: ¿ ¡.

The Old English Latin alphabet—though it had

no standard orthography—generally consisted of
24 letters, and was used for writing Old
English from the 9th to the 12th centuries. Of
these letters, 20 were directly adopted from
the Latin alphabet, two were modified Latin letters
(Æ, Ð), and two developed from the runic
alphabet (Ƿ, Þ). The letters K, Q and Z were not in
the spelling of native English words.
