Portuguese alphabet, like in other Romance languages has a {{IPA notice}}
 
Portuguese alphabet, like in other [[w:Romance languages|Romance languages]] has a natural evolution from Latin and so it is not strictly phonetic and has some features inherited from its history. Although, compared to English or even French it is easy to read and not so hard to write.
