Talk:ß

Hey all! Just seen an episode of Epidemic: The Great Plague. In e02 they check the orders of Lord Mayor and they show a book with English text, and I am sure that I've seen an early version of ß. I am sorry, I can't link the video nor screenshot. I am really confused how could an ß included in an official paper in England. If it's really an ß then the statement that it was not used in any other than German should be changed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.21.253.230 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

French ß

Latin ß

Yes, other languages have used the Eszett, it was a convenient ligature for ſs. I've never heard about it being used in English though. Currently, it is only used in German, perhaps that's a better way to put it? — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 23:26, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

It is not used in Switzerland any more. That leaves Germany and Austria. Belgium/Luxemburg will likely follow Germany, same for the German speaking people in northern Italy. Eptalon (talk) 19:26, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Latin letters

Is it correct to say that eszett is the only non-Latin letter in the German alphabet? That is, is it correct to imply that ä, ö and ü are letters in the Latin alphabet? (In the German alphabet, they are considered separate letters for a, o and u, respectively.) Kdammers (talk) 16:33, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
