Ligatuureihin

Ligatuureihin is a concept in Finnish orthography that deals with the joining of two or more letters to form a single symbol. This practice is also known as ligature. In the context of the Finnish alphabet, ligatuureihin refers to the specific combinations of letters that are combined to produce a unique glyph.

The Finnish alphabet includes several ligatuureihin, including the multiplication of two or more letters from the basic Latin alphabet, or a combination with a diacritical mark, and also th between two dactylic vowelsmunderline The most common ligatuureihin are the following: fi, fl, fj, rl, ll, nj, dj, s' (.fi), ch', th (or th', shl, and tzl in special compo

The use of ligatuureihin in the Finnish language is mainly a convention that helps with the accurate representation of words on paper. Many other languages have similar conventions. The practice has roots in ancient writing systems, where joining letters can simplify the writing process and enhance legibility. The study of ligatuureihin has been applied in the design of typefaces and has also influenced the development of other writing systems, including Latin and alphabet systems in non-European languages
