Other rare letters
The Italian language has three letters found in only one noun each:
- ü is found only in the common noun würstel (“frankfurter/wiener/Vienna sausage/hotdog when used as a topping for pizza”) (with orthophonetic pronunciations IPA(key): , )
- æ and Ø are found only in the toponym Fær Øer (“Faroe Islands (archipelago and political entity)”) (with orthophonetic pronunciations IPA(key): , , )
Most ethnic (chiefly from non-Italic non-Hellenic non-Germanic non-Slavic non-Uralic non-Semitic languages) proper nouns, language nouns, and language adjectives are untranslated and, therefore, may contain other rare letters.
