there are some letters in Greek and in Macedonian language

α β γ δ ε
а б в ц д ч ќ ѓ ж ш

and for German and French I use German Swiss because it contains all letters from respective languages.
Even that German language has its own letters like ö ü ä and in French ç and é è à.

and also in French sometimes to conserve the pronunciation of a particular vowel the the those vowels do have the two dots on the top like ï so for me it suits the use of Swiss German keyboard for English, French and as long as I don't speak Spanish that much especially with accents.

Best regards
