====Finno-Ugric==== :* [[Estonian alphabet|Estonian]] has a distinct letter {{angbr|[[õ]]}}, which contains a tilde. Estonian vowels with [[double dot (diacritic)|double-dot diacritics]] {{angbr|ä}}, {{angbr|ö}}, {{angbr|ü}} are similar to German, but these are also distinct letters, unlike [[Umlaut (diacritic)|German umlauted]] letters. All four have their own place in the alphabet, between {{angbr|w}} and {{angbr|x}}. [[Caron]]s in {{angbr|š}} or {{angbr|ž}} appear only in foreign proper names and [[loanwords]]. Also these are distinct letters, placed in the alphabet between ''s'' and ''t''. :* [[Finnish alphabet|Finnish]] uses double-dotted vowels ({{angbr|ä}} and {{angbr|ö}}). As in Swedish and Estonian, these are regarded as individual letters, rather than 'vowel + diacritic' combinations (as happens in German). It also uses the characters {{angbr|å}}, {{angbr|š}} and {{angbr|ž}} in foreign names and loanwords. In the Finnish and Swedish alphabets, {{angbr|å}}, {{angbr|ä}} and {{angbr|ö}} collate as separate letters after {{angbr|z}}, the others as variants of their base letter. :* [[Hungarian alphabet|Hungarian]] uses the double-dot, the acute and double acute diacritics (the last is unique to Hungarian): ({{angbr|ö}}, {{angbr|ü}}), ({{angbr|á}}, {{angbr|é}}, {{angbr|í}}, {{angbr|ó}}, {{angbr|ú}}) and ({{angbr|ő}}, {{angbr|ű}}). The acute accent indicates the long form of a vowel (in case of {{angbr|i}}/{{angbr|í}}, {{angbr|o}}/{{angbr|ó}}, {{angbr|u}}/{{angbr|ú}}) while the double acute performs the same function for {{angbr|ö}} and {{angbr|ü}}. The acute accent can also indicate a different sound (more open, as in case of {{angbr|a}}/{{angbr|á}}, {{angbr|e}}/{{angbr|é}}). Both long and short forms of the vowels are listed separately in the [[Hungarian alphabet]], but members of the pairs {{angbr|a}}/{{angbr|á}}, {{angbr|e}}/{{angbr|é}}, {{angbr|i}}/{{angbr|í}}, {{angbr|o}}/{{angbr|ó}}, {{angbr|ö}}/{{angbr|[[ő]]}}, {{angbr|u}}/{{angbr|ú}} and {{angbr|ü}}/{{angbr|[[ű]]}} are collated in dictionaries as the same letter. :* [[Livonian language|Livonian]] has the following letters: {{angbr|ā}}, {{angbr|ä}}, {{angbr|[[ǟ]]}}, {{angbr|[[ḑ]]}}, {{angbr|ē}}, {{angbr|ī}}, {{angbr|ļ}}, {{angbr|ņ}}, {{angbr|ō}}, {{angbr|[[ȯ]]}}, {{angbr|[[ȱ]]}}, {{angbr|[[õ]]}}, {{angbr|[[ȭ]]}}, {{angbr|ŗ}}, {{angbr|š}}, {{angbr|ț}}, {{angbr|ū}}, {{angbr|ž}}.
