==Coverage== ISO 8859-15 encodes what it refers to as "[[Latin alphabet]] no. 9". This character set is used throughout the [[Americas]], [[Western Europe]], [[Oceania]], and much of [[Africa]]. It is also commonly used in most standard romanizations of East-Asian languages. Each character is encoded as a single eight-bit code value. These code values can be used in almost any data interchange system to communicate in the following languages: {{col-begin}} {{col-break|width=20%}} *[[Afrikaans language|Afrikaans]] *[[Albanian language|Albanian]] *[[Breton language|Breton]] *[[Catalan language|Catalan]] *[[Danish language|Danish]]{{efn|Complete support except for Ǿ/ǿ which are missing. Ǿ/ǿ can be replaced with Ø/ø at the cost of increased ambiguity.}} *[[Dutch language|Dutch]]{{efn|Commonly supported with nearly complete coverage of the Dutch alphabet, as the missing ''[[IJ (letter)|IJ]], ij'' should always be represented as two-character IJ or ij in electronic form.}} {{col-break|width=20%}} *[[English language|English]]{{efn|US and modern British}} *[[Estonian language|Estonian]] *[[Faroese language|Faroese]] *[[Finnish language|Finnish]] *[[French language|French]] *[[Galician language|Galician]] {{col-break|width=20%}} *[[German language|German]]{{efn|Complete support except for uppercase [[ß|ẞ]], which not officially adopted by the [[Council for German Orthography]] until 2017.}} *[[Icelandic language|Icelandic]] *[[Irish language|Irish]]{{efn|New orthography}} *[[Italian language|Italian]] *[[Latin]]{{efn|Basic classical orthography|name=basic}} *[[Luxembourgish language|Luxembourgish]]{{efn||name=basic}} {{col-break|width=20%}} *[[Malay language|Malay]]{{efn|[[Rumi script]]}} *[[Norwegian language|Norwegian]]{{efn|Bokmål and Nynorsk}} *[[Occitan language|Occitan]] *[[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]{{efn|European and Brazilian}} *[[Romansh language|Rhaeto-Romanic]] *[[Rotokas alphabet|Rotokas]] *[[Scottish Gaelic]] {{col-break}} *[[Swedish language|Swedish]] *[[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] *[[Walloon language|Walloon]] *[[Scots language|Scots]] *[[Spanish language|Spanish]] *[[Swahili language|Swahili]] {{col-end}} '''Notes''' {{Notelist}} ===Coverage of punctuation signs and apostrophes=== {{See also|Latin-script alphabet}} For some languages listed above, the correct typographical [[Quotation mark#Table|quotation mark]]s are missing, since only «, », ", and ' are included. Also, this encoding does not provide the correct character for the apostrophe, and oriented single high quotation marks, although some texts use the spacing grave accent and spacing acute accent, which are both part of ISO 8859-1, instead of the 6-shaped/9-shaped quotations marks or apostrophes (and this works reliably with some font styles, where all these characters are displayed as slanted wedge glyphs).
