Germans use the standard Roman alphabet used by most of the Western world. The only exceptions are the umlauts which are two dots placed over the a, the o, and the u. These letters are used in addition to the other 26 letters of the alphabet.

Most German dialects also use a special character for double es (ß) which is called 'scharfes S' or Eszett. Swiss German does not use this character.

Germans primarily use the Latin alphabet for writing, as it is the standard writing system for the German language. However, they also have a history of using the Fraktur script, a variant of the Latin alphabet, which was commonly used in the past but is now predominantly replaced by the standard Latin script.
