We can also easily produce documents containing a combination of as many languages as you require.

	Latin The most widely recognised alphabet in the world, and used for all the European languages.
	Greek The Greek language has been used to record each step in an unbroken literary tradition stretching almost 3,000 years – a role that no other European language has been able to play.
	Cyrillic There are 33 characters in the Cyrillic alphabet, although two of these don’t actually make a sound, they are simply used to modify other characters.
	Chinese This is a very complex tonal language which can use up to six different pitches to distinguish between words adopting the same spelling. This makes it rather tricky to learn!
	Japanese The Japanese language employs different speech patterns depending on the formality of the occasion, the gender of the speaker, and the relative status of the speaker and listener.
	Arabic Arabic is spoken throughout the Middle East and North Africa. The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 characters – each character may have different forms, depending on whether it’s used by itself or where it appears within a particular word.
	Korean Hangul, the Korean phonetic alphabet, is used exclusively in North Korea whereas in South Korea a mixture of Chinese and Hangul characters are used.
	Thai Thai is one of the oldest languages in East and South-East Asia. A monosyllabic language which uses up to five tones to alter the meaning of a single syllable.
