Is the sound of cedilla more like a "Z" in Portugal? (I mean Spanish from Spain "Z")

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

Portuguese alphabet is simple
a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j-k-l-m-n-o-p-q-r-s-t-u-v-w-x-y-z

Hey, you're cheating! I often see characters with accents in Portuguese names and text (ã, õ, etc.) - so there are more letters even if you don't list them. With this approach, we could also omit the two-character and accented letters from the alphabet and make it short...

Is it that strange that one language considers these special 'letters' as letters and the other one doesn't?

Leo, how do you pronounce the mentioned digraphs? And how do you pronounce the 'o' letter in the end of the names of Brazilian football players?

We don't have letters which are uniquely pronounced together, Hungarian follows the written characters in pronounciation.

Then I guess these are my final scores.

I guess I will keep my profile and carry on scrobbling, but much of the fun in using the site (which, for me, was mainly about browsing the profiles and charts of random people) is now gone.

[zaqrack]

My scrobbling data has a very strong bias towards the early last.fm years and lately I tend to listen to music on multiple devices or through Youtube / Spotify, many of which is not connected to last.fm. Nevertheless, here it is.
