The Italian alphabet includes 21 letters from the Latin alphabet. The remaining five letters are familiar to Italians, but they are used mainly in foreign languages and are not part of their alphabet. On the left side of each column are given the uppercase and lowercase letters in Italian, and on the right side – the Bulgarian pronunciation of the letter.
