Heyo, just curious what language(s) use the latin alphabet without case?
- jraph 3y agoWe have case, but we don't have title case. We write titles using normal case, with an upper case letter at the start and for proper names but no other words. (French, but I think that's also true for Spanish, Italian and many other languages. I don't know if German have a specific case for titles like English but they have an upper case letter for common nouns).
- teo_zero 3y agoCorrect. Sentence case in Spanish: "El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha" and Italian: "Il nome della rosa". Sentence case also in German, with the usual rule that all nouns are capitalized: "Kritik der reinen Vernunft". Same for Russian (non-latin of course): "Война и мир". I suspect English is the only language to use special, though not standardized, rules for titles.
