  • The orthography used here for the Serbian slang-words is not a standardized transliteration of today's Serbian Cyrillics, and not an official Latin spelling--which would be Croatian, and therefore taboo.

  • The text is punctuated here and there by tables showing the progressive development of selected symbols (as, for example, in Sumerian), the Devanagari syllabary (in which several modern and ancient Indian languages are written), the Hebrew, Arabic, and other alphabets, Chinese and Japanese writing, and attractive drawings showing the hieroglyphic (with sound values in English orthography).

  • The common ligature in German orthography is the esszet (β, β) and there are three vowels which can take the umlaut (ä, ö, and ü ).

  • The circonflexe , on the other hand, is really a sign of orthography , not pronunciation, being a reminder of a dropped s—it is usually there for historical reasons but connoting a reason which has long since ceased to make sense and which modern French speakers have probably been blithely unaware of.
