I'm pleased you've decided to internationalise these, Domergue - as I was never going to dare! But nitpicking is another matter...you say A is the first letter of ''most'' variants of the Latin alphabet: I think you should therefore say which variants do not have A as the 1st letter - or boldly change 'most' to 'all'.

But nitpicking is another matter...you say A is the first letter of most variants of the Latin alphabet: I think you should therefore say which variants do not have A as the 1st letter - or boldly change 'most' to 'all'.
