(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein significance is attributed to a typewriter that is capable of imprinting character* symbols in an alphabet other than the standard English alphabet.
(1) Note. The standard "English" alphabet is one that is derived from the Roman or Latin alphabet, and therefore is common to languages used in many European countries, including most of the western European countries. This and indented subclasses provide for a typewriter capable of typing in such alphabets as Cryllic (e.g., for Russian, Bulgarian or Serbian), Semitic (e.g., Arabic, Hebrew), Greek, Medieval German, etc., or is capable of typing such oriental languages as Chinese, Japanese, etc., the enumeration being only exemplary.
