==Writing system==
▲German is written using the [[Latin alphabet]]. In addition to the 26 standard letters, German has three vowels with [[Umlaut]], namely ''ä'', ''ö'' and ''ü'', as well as a special symbol for "ss", which is only used in special cases: [[ß|ß]]. Until recently, however, German was printed in Gothic [[black letter|black letters]] ([[Fraktur]], or [[typeface#Schwabacher|Schwabacher]]) and written in [[Sütterlin]]. These variants of the Latin alphabet are very different from the serif or sans serif [[typeface|typefaces]] used today, and are difficult for the untrained to read.
