alphabet vs letter

A 'letter' is a single character (like 'A'), whereas the 'alphabet' is the entire system of letters.

alphabet vs script

A 'script' refers to the visual style or specific writing system, while 'alphabet' specifically refers to a system where characters represent individual sounds.

📝

使用说明

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.

⚠️

常见错误

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.
