German
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (26) - äöü (+3) - ß (+1) =30
French
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (26) - ç (+1) - àéèù (+4) - âêîôû (+5) - äëïöü (+5) = 41
BUT: except the cedille ç and the accented letters àéèù, usually diacritical letters (with "accent circonflexe" ^ like âêîôû or "tréma" ¨ like äöüë) are not considered as part of the french alphabet, therefore:
aàbcçdeéèfghijklmnopqrstuùvwxyz = 31

French is 26 also
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
German:
There are 30 alphabets. There is an additional letter ß or ss, which is used only in the lower case. The diacritical mark is the umlaut ¨ , which appears over A, O and U. All nouns begin with a capital letter.

French and German are based on the same alphabet as English... the only difference that French has is the use of accents. German has a couple of symbols (the only one that I can remember is the ß, whish can also be spelled as "ss") Spanish, Italian, Portugese and a few others all use the same alphabet with minor changes as well.

The alphabets are close, yet no longer precisely the comparable. as an occasion, i comprehend that "I" and "E" are turn-flopped in the two languages. What you may evaluate is that the historic previous of France and England are tied so heavily mutually and that has little doubt affected the language. there became right into a time in historic previous while the language of the English courtroom became into French, and not English. i think of you have your interpretation backwards--we've not got greater french words by way of alphabet, yet we've a matching alphabet because of the fact we've an excellent style of French words in our language.

Since you seem interested in alphabets, I thought I would give you the Danish alphabet wich has 28 letters:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxyzæøå
Know it wasn't your question, but thought you might like to know anyway.
You can see we have the extra æ,ø and å, while we don't actually use a w.

Both those languages have the same number of letters as English does. They do have accents on vowels in certain words, but they aren't included as separate letters.
