ABSTRACT
Capital and small letters double the inventory of many alphabetic writing systems in that, as a rule, each capital letter has a corresponding small letter. Capital and small letters are found in all writing systems that are based on the Latin, Greek, or Cyrillic alphabets, as well as in the Armenian Khutsuri script (biblical script). Capital letters are used in proper names (in Greenlandic only in proper names), sentence-initially (not in Greenlandic), and in particular expressions (the first person singular pronoun ‹I› and all words in titles except particles, in English; all nouns in German and-prior to 1947-in Danish).
