Wird oft verwechselt mit
A 'letter' is a single character (like 'A'), whereas the 'alphabet' is the entire system of letters.
A 'script' refers to the visual style or specific writing system, while 'alphabet' specifically refers to a system where characters represent individual sounds.
Nutzungshinweise
Use 'alphabet' when referring to the entire collection of letters as a single unit. It is a countable noun, so you can speak of 'different alphabets' when comparing English to Greek or Arabic.
Häufige Fehler
Learners often say 'How many alphabets are in this word?' instead of 'How many letters are in this word?'. Remember that a language typically has only one alphabet.
