Letters

That crossed my mind as I began editing these. The problem is that the letters have two ordinal places, one in the 21-letter Italian alphabet and the second in the 26-letter Latin alphabet. I supposed I could copy the output of the template and paste it in for the sake of not using the template, but ultimately the definition must mention both "orders".

I faced a similar dilemma when I considered using {{list}}. The entires will have to show two lists to consider both orders. If you have any suggestions, I'd be glad to consider them. I normally use existing entries as models for what to do, but none of the other languages undergo a similar phenomenon.

Many other languages use Latin script but have alphabets with different numbering due to extra letters added in; they simply show the ordinal place in the language's alphabet and don't give any information on its position in Latin script. How is Italian different?

You said it yourself: the other languages add letters. Italian adds no letters but omits J, K, W, X, and Y from its alphabet. Those letters still have names and we have entries for them, but they're not counted in the order of the alphabet.

With that, do you suggest we concentrate on the Italian order and treat the omitted letters as we would Greek or other foreign letters?
