Is it just me, or is the alphabet running out of letters?

This has been bothering me all day.

1. If you're Welsh there always has been a shortage of letters.

There's 28 letters in the Welsh alpahbet. Problem is that the Latin alphabet is used to represent the letters and there's only 26 letters in that one.

It is worse for Zulu. I think there's 60 letters including click conosonants.. and again only 26 letters in the latin alphabet.

Mark.
