Only the Roman alphabet uses 26 characters A-Z.
Cyrilic has plenty more. the phoenetic Russino for Taxi is TACKSI :-)
Arabic & oriental languages use very different alphabets.

There are other languages which use many more representations for letters...the Chinese "alphabet" consists of hundreds of pictograms.

that wasnt a dumb question..
there's no such thing.
I've acctually always wondered that..

They should add a new letter..but that's just how the english language was formed!!
