The Old English Latin alphabet consisted of 24 letters: 20 standard letters + 4 additional letters edit
I tweaked... The basic Old English Latin alphabet consisted of 24 letters: 20 standard letters plus four additional letters: ash ⟨æ⟩, eth ⟨ð⟩, thorn ⟨þ⟩ and wynn ⟨ƿ⟩. There was not yet a distinct j, v or w, and Old English scribes did not generally use k, q or z. 2603:3020:BE7:A000:5490:8C43:B4E5:7CA7 (talk) 15:05, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
