There are 65 different alphabets being used in the world. English, German and Dutch use 26 letters. The Cambodian or Khmer alphabet has 72 letters. We are the first civilized world that creates "zero" according to the research on the Angkor Wat's ancient scripture.
Rotokas on Bougainville has only 11, the least of all alphabets.
Russians use 41 letters.
Latin 25 letters.
French use 23.
Hebrew use 22.
Let's not try to figure Chinese where completely different rules apply.
I'm so glad Khmer is my mother tongue and English is my second while my next gens would benefit from these both.
