What about the history of LT alphabet?

As it must have evolved from Martynas Mažvydas' Catechism to the current alphabet (or there's an older LT written sample?). Moreover, this Catechism was based on a variety of Lithuanian language spoken at that time in Lithuania Minor and it could be that the alphabets of LT and Samogitian have the same origin from the same Catechism (or Samogitian alphabet is just a remake of LT alphabet?)...Kazkaskazkasako (talk) 09:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another question: alphabet versus phonology?

This article extensively mixes LT alphabet and LT phonology. I think creation of Lithuanian phonology article would help to unmix these two different things (written language versus spoken language). Kazkaskazkasako (talk) 12:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A little error

There is such statement in an article:

The consonants preceding vowels [i] and [e] are always moderately palatalized, a feature common to East Slavic languages and not present in the Latvian language.

But reference to East Slavic languages is bad here, because such a property is characteristic only for Russian. Consonats before 'e,i' in Ukrainian are nearly always not palatalized and in Belarusian it depends. So I will remove this reference if nobody complains. 195.150.224.191 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:15, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"...surprise..."

I may be a bit over-sensitive here, but the use of the word "surprise" in relation to the collating sequence of the letter Y in the first paragraph seems to be in violation of WP:TONE and is not culturally neutral. (A native speaker of Lithuanian would not find the collating sequence surprising.)

Language along the lines of "notable variance from Latin alphabets" may be a more culturally appropriate choice. Donperk (talk) 20:55, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it to say that it is unusual, which it certainly is among Latin alphabets. Double sharp (talk) 04:10, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
