::I have no real objection. Let's move to "Roman alphabet". But the term "Latin alphabet" should be accepted as a synonym.

Move

I think this should be moved to Roman alphabet - strictly speaking, the Latin alphabet is the one used to write Latin (equivalent to 'English alphabet'). Linguists such as Cook and Bassetti (Second Language Writing Systems) use 'Roman alphabet', i.e. a single script with many language-dependent orthographies (rules).
