Hi,  
I just wanted to share something interesting…  
If you want to get a list of a certain language’s alphabet, use the code you see in the image below: (to see the list clearly, right click on the image and click on “open image in new tab”)

Hi Elazar,

It is better to post WL code rather than an image.

```
flist = Alphabet /@ {"Greek", "Russian", "Arabic", "Spanish", "German", "Bulgarian", "Danish"};
flist // Column
(*
{?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?}
{?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?}
{?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?}
{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,ñ,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z}
{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z}
{?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?}
{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,æ,ø,å}
*)

Length /@ flist
(* {24, 33, 28, 27, 26, 30, 29} *)

```

How do I post WL Code?
