The Czech alphabet uses several letters in addition to the 26 letters used in the English alphabet.
These are \xe1, č, ď, é, ě, \xed, ň, \xf3, ř, š, ť, \xfa, ů, \xfd, ž.
The letter combination ch is also considered a single letter and is alphabetized after h.
Letters q, w, x are used only in words of foreign origin.Jul 28, 2023.
\xda/\xfa is a variant of U carrying an acute accent; it represents an /u/ carrying the tonic accent.
It is used only if it is the last letter of the word except in dictionaries..
Well, Czech uses the standard Latin alphabet but has three diacritical or accent marks, which alter the pronunciation of certain letters.
The short slanting line above vowels makes them longer - that means they last about twice as long.
Normal short vowels are: "a", "e", "i", "o", "u"..
I know what you mean, in French the accents can be taken away for capitals, but for languages like German and Polish where they are part of the letter, they have to stay even for caps :) x
Here are all the letters with accents or diacritics used in the Czech alphabet: Á (a with acute accent): Represents a long /aː/ sound, as in “ház” (house)
Č (c with caron): Represents a voiceless postalveolar fricative /t͡ʃ/, similar to the “ch” sound in “church,” as in “čaj” (tea)
It uses a character combination 'ch' for one of these characters
For the remainder it uses diacritical marksover othercharacters to say that it is a different character
The diacritical marks tend to either lengthenthe sound of a vowel,or softenthe sound of a consonant
Accents, also known as diacritical marks, are used to modify the pronunciation of certain letters in Czech. There are four main accents used in Czech: the acute accent (´), the háček (ˇ), the caron (ˇ), and the circumflex (ˆ).
However, in order to pronounce all the sounds that the Czech language contains, additional letters with diacritics (small marks above the letter) are used in combination with the Roman alphabet. There are only a few diacritics - háček (hook), čárka (length mark), kroužek(circle) and they change the pronunciation of the letter.
