The Maltese alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet with the addition of some letters with diacritic marks. It is used to write the Maltese language.
It contains 30 letters:
| A | B | Ċ | D | E | F | Ġ | G | Għ | H | Ħ | I | Ie | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Z | Ż |
| a | b | ċ | d | e | f | ġ | g | għ | h | ħ | i | ie | j | k | l | m | n | o | p | q | r | s | t | u | v | w | x | z | ż |
Note that it does not contain the Latin letter Y.
The alphabet is sometimes considered to contain C (sorting after Ċ), but this letter is only used in words derived from other languages, especially Italian and English.
