The latin alphabet C is used in Afrikaans, but for very limited words that are derived from English and French. Afrikaans is mainly derived from Dutch in which C is not often used. The Dutch words that contain C have been replaced by alphabets like K in most instances. The alphabet Z has also been replaced by S in many cases.
