=== Alphabet === {{Main|French alphabet|French braille}} French is written with the 26 letters of the basic [[Latin script]], with four diacritics appearing on vowels ([[circumflex]] accent, [[acute accent]], [[grave accent]], [[Diaeresis (diacritic)|diaeresis]]) and the [[cedilla]] appearing in "Γ§". There are two [[ligature (typography)|ligatures]], "Ε" and "Γ¦", but they are often replaced in contemporary French with "oe" and "ae", because the ligatures do not appear on the [[AZERTY]] keyboard layout used in French-speaking countries.
