  • If the question is whether the Latin languages use letters differently: yes, every language is different?

    I can speak for English, Spanish, and French. English is a bastard language with more exceptions than rules, as we all know. Spanish mostly uses accents as a pronunciation guide with some exceptions, whereas French accents change the letter sound more consistently. Both can change the meaning. French uses ç but not Spanish, and Spanish uses ñ exclusively. French is much more contextual.

    Sp: “Si llego a tiempo” (if I arrive in time) vs “Sí, llegó a tiempo” (yes, he arrived in time). Same general sound, different emphasis.

    Fr: «Bon mais sale» (good but dirty) vs «bon maïs salé» (good salted corn). Wildly different sounds and even syllable counts.
