==Alphabet and Pronunciation==
Word order is considerably more flexible than English, but the basic order is subject–verb–object.
Estonian employs the Latin script as the basis for its alphabet,
:and adds the letters ä, ö, ü, and õ, plus the later additions š and ž.
:The letters c, q, w, x and y are limited to proper names of foreign origin
:f, z, š, and ž appear in loanwords and foreign names only. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Estonian language," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_language#Alphabet, accessed 15 March 2021.</ref>
