===[[Celtic languages]]=== ====[[Welsh language|Welsh]] ([[:cy:Cymraeg|Cymraeg]])==== *letters ''Ŵ, ŵ'' used in Welsh *words ''y, yr, yn, a, ac, i, o'' *letter sequences ''wy, ch, dd, ff, ll, mh, ngh, nh, ph, rh, th, si'' *letters not used: ''k, q, v, x, z'' *letter only used rarely, in loanwords: ''j'' *commonly accented letters: ''â, ê, î, ô, û, ŵ, ŷ'', although acute (''´''), grave (''`''), and dieresis (''¨'') accents can hypothetically occur on all vowels *word endings: ''-ion, -au, -wr, -wyr'' *''y'' is the most common letter in the language *''w'' between consonants (''w'' in fact represents a vowel in the Welsh language) *circumflex accent (''^'') is by far the commonest diacritical mark, although diacritics are often omitted altogether ====[[Irish language|Irish]] ([[:ga:Gaeilge|Gaeilge]])==== *vowels with acute accents: ''á é í ó ú'' *words beginning with letter sequences ''bp dt gc bhf'' *letter sequences ''sc cht'' *no use of the letter J, K, Q, V, W. *frequent bh, ch, dh, fh, gh, mh, th, sh *to distinguish from (Scottish) Gaelic: there may be words or names with the second (or even third) letter capitalized instead of the first: ''hÉireann''. ====[[Scottish Gaelic language|Scottish Gaelic]] ([[:gd:Gàidhlig|Gàidhlig]])==== *vowels with grave accents: ''à è ì ò ù'' (''é'' and ''ó'' still occasionally seen but usage is now discouraged) *letter sequences ''sg chd'' *frequent bh, ch, dh, fh, gh, mh, th, sh *to distinguish from Irish: prefixes are hyphenated, so capitals in the middle of words generally do not occur: ''an t-Oban''.
