The Slovak alphabet is an extension of the Latin alphabet with 46 letters including the four diacritics (ˇ, ´(acute accent), ¨(diaeresis/umlaut), ˆ), which makes it the longest Slavic and European alphabet.
It is never acceptable to write an anonymous letter or one that purports to be signed by somebody other than the writer (but does not make that clear). Many languages use different 2nd person pronouns to denote formality or familiarity when addressing people (the T–V distinction). This also applies in common phrases such as "How are you?".
Slovak (/ ˈ s l oʊ v æ k,-v ɑː k / SLOH-va(h)k; [15] [16] endonym: slovenčina [ˈslɔʋent͡ʂina] or slovenský jazyk [ˈslɔʋenskiː ˈjazik] ⓘ), is a West Slavic language of the Czech–Slovak group, written in Latin script. [17]
A letter of thanks, letter of gratitude, thank you card, or thank you letter is a letter or greetings card that is used when one person/party wishes to express appreciation to another.

The symbol originates with the 15th-century Czech alphabet that was introduced by the reforms of Jan Hus. [1] [2] From there, it was first adopted into the Croatian alphabet by Ljudevit Gaj in 1830 to represent the same sound, [3] and from there on into other orthographies, such as Latvian, [4] Lithuanian, [5] Slovak, [6] Slovene, Karelian, Sami, Veps and Sorbian.
The phonetic quality of Slovak diphthongs is as follows: /ɪe/ and /ɪu/ have the same starting point, the same as the short /i/ . The former glides to the short /e/ ( [ɪ̟e̞] ), whereas the latter glides to the position more front than /u/ ( [ɪ̟ʊ] ), so that /ɪu/ ends more front than the starting point of /ʊɔ/ .
Dž is a digraph that corresponds to the letter Dzhe (Џ/џ) of the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet. It is also the tenth letter of the Slovak alphabet. Although several other languages (see below) also use the letter combination DŽ, they treat it as a pair of the letters D and Ž, not as a single distinct letter.
It is the 42nd letter of the Czech, the 46th letter of Slovak, the 25th letter of the Slovenian alphabet, as well as the 30th letter of the Serbo-Croatian latinic alphabet and the Macedonian one (as a counterpart or transliteration of Cyrillic Ж in the latter two).
