German is the most spoken language in the European Union with the majority of native speakers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. German uses the Latin alphabet with an additional three vowels and the Umlaut; ä, ö and ü, as well as the Eszett scharfes s (sharp s), ß. Standard German was not developed from a specific dialect but rather developed from the written form of the language. Despite being standardised, since German is spoken so widely both within Europe and around the world variations of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar still do exist.
