The '''Modern basic Latin alphabet''' is a [[Latin-derived alphabet]] and comprises 26 letters. It is codified in [[ISO/IEC 646]] and in the "Basic Latin" range (0000–007F) for the [[Latin characters in Unicode]]. The upper case is at 0041-005A, lower at 0061-007A. The letters are also available in [[ASCII]].

Alphabets that are equivalent:

* [[English alphabet]]
* [[Interlingua alphabet]]
* [[Ido alphabet]]
* [[Interglossa alphabet]]
* [[Occidental alphabet]]
* [[German alphabet]]
* [[Dutch alphabet]]
* [[French alphabet]]
* [[Malay alphabet]]
* [[Portuguese alphabet]] (the [[1990 Portuguese Language Orthographic Agreement]] may come into effect in 2009)

The corresponding languages can still use [[diacritic]]s, but these are not treated as separate letters in the alphabet. English is unique{{Fact|date=February 2009}} among major modern European languages in using no diacritics for native words. <!-- Actually, this is slightly wrong: a [[dieresis]] is still seen occasionally, e.g., in [[The New Yorker]]. But this seems too trivial to clutter up the sentence with. -->
