Dutch, although they insist on treating the ligature IJ as a letter on its own. It's even part of the sort order in dictionaries and telephone books. Also, probably thanks to Dutch colonialism, the unmodified Latin alphabet is the official writing system in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and Singapore, and is used to write the Malay and Indonesian languages. It is also used as the base for romanization systems for languages that don't have a latin-style alphabet already. These are often designed to stick as close to plain lating as possible. Apart from academia and language teaching, a few of them are actually used by governments to render names in latin characters for passports, street signs etc. Personally, I think that the plain latin alphabet is quite limited and that extensions are necessary. Accents, macrons, circumflexes, etc. are certainly annoying to input, but certainly not worse than inventing completely new letters or using digraphs for everything. I rather think that our educational systems don't teach well how to handle them. We don't have to pronounce them all correctly, and certainly can't be expected to, but typing them is not impossible at all!
