The Latin alphabet , used for centuries to note the majority of Western European languages (and after colonization around the world), has often been completed: the version history does not see enough of graphemes to note all the phonemes of the languages that use it. To do this, he added extra letters, or by simply using digraphs and diacritics , either by building new graphemes.

The methods of transcripts and transliterations of languages that do not use the Latin alphabet also make extensive use of extra letters.

Diacritics

A simple way to transcribe a phoneme is to use a diacritic on a letter soon. If the letters in French diacrites are not considered as distinct (they are considered allographs ), it is different for other languages.
