Underware Latin Plus

Underware Latin Plus is a character set developed by Underware, supporting over 200 Latin languages. This character set, which includes 446 characters in total, is created to offer decent language support for fonts. All characters are mapped to languages, because they go hand in hand. A detailed overview of the Latin Plus character set and its languages is presented here.

Languages

The overview of languages which are supported by (all) Underware fonts is shown in a heatmap, representing the number of speakers. A mouseover reveals related languages, not based on the language family tree but on diacritics usage. Currently 220 languages are listed. Note: this is not an all-embracing universal language database. Dozens of researched languages have been excluded for various reasons. For example: some languages require characters which don’t have a Unicode, or because there aren’t any design standards for some required exotic characters. Read more about these decisions in the case-study Notes on Underware Latin Plus.
