(Redirected from Ŕ)
The Romany alphabet (Romani šib) is the official standard alphabet for writing the Romany language, in all of its many dialects. It is derived from the Latin alphabet, and has 46 characters. The alphabet was standardized in 1990 at the Fourth World Romani Congress held in Serock, Poland.
Its 46 uppercase characters are:
A Ä B C Ć Č D Ď E Ê F G Ǧ H I Î J K Ǩ L Ľ M N Ň O Ö P P̌ Q R Ŕ Ř S Ś Š T Ť U Ü V W X Y Z Ź Ž
with the following lowercase forms:
a ä b c ć č d ď e ê f g ǧ h i î j k ǩ l ľ m n ň o ö p p̌ q r ŕ ř s ś š t ť u ü v w x y z ź ž.
Twenty of the 46 characters in the Romany alphabet are accented, namely:
- versions with caron of the letters C, D, G, K, L, N, P, R, S, T and Z,
- umlauted versions of the letters A, O and U,
- E and I with circumflexes, and
- C, R, S and Z with acute accents.
