How many letters does the modern Latvian alphabet have?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 33 letters
- Step 1: Latvian uses the Latin alphabet with added diacritics. Step 2. Letters such as Ā, Č, Ē, Ģ, Ī, Ķ, Ļ, Ņ, Š, Ū and Ž bring the total to 33. Answer: 33 letters. Why not the others: 26 is the basic Latin count, and 29 and 36 do not match.
