Spanish Alphabet

This posting reminded me of our class and the phonetic alphabet that we learned. After reviewing the Spanish alphabet, I found some similarities between it and the phonetic alphabet. The ch letter seems similar to the tS symbol in the phonetic alphabet. When I looked it up they both do indeed stand for the sound “ch” as in church. A letter that stumped me was the LL. I could not come up with a word that differed in the sound of one or two L’s. So, I searched a little further and found that the single L sounds like our L in English, while the LL sounds like our Y. Most alphabets seem to be similar in the letters and sounds that they offer. This would make translating words easier on people that speak different languages.
