Faggin–Nazzi alphabet explained
The Faggin–Nazzi alphabet is an orthographic system proposed to write Friulian, named after its creators, Giorgio Faggin and Gianni Nazzi. It was created before the now-standard Friulian orthography developed by Spanish linguist . Today Faggin-Nazzi is rarely used, also because it uses letters typical of Slavic languages, such as č, which are unfamiliar for most Friulians due to dissimilarity from the Italian alphabet. The alphabet consists of the following letters: A a, B b, C c, Č č, D d, E e, F f, G g, Ǧ ǧ (or Ğ ğ), H h, I i, J j, L l, M m, N n, O o, P p, Q q, R r, S s, Š š, T t, U u, V v, X x, Z z.[1] [2] [3] [4]
