No, they're the intersection of the Latin and Greek alphabets. So: PHB 1234 could be read as pee-aitch-bee or rho-eta-veta depending on which alphabet you use, but the plate is unique in either system. There are no letters used which aren't in both alphabets. The Bulgarians and Russians do the exact same thing as their respective languages use Cyrillic. Kazakhs use the Latin alphabet, even though they officially use Cyrillic. There is an official Latin version of their language, I note, though they generally don't use it. Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh actually use Armenian on their vehicle registration plates, though authorities abroad can easily interpret them as Latin. It appears that vehicle registration plates in Georgia, a country with a language that uses a rather unique alphabet, have to use Latin. GCC vehicle registration plates display Latin and Arabic script, IIRC. You see them in the West End, around Grosvenor Square. |
