English is a language, Cyrillic is an alphabet, and Greek is both. The alphabet one finds in the range U+0000 to U+007F is called "Latin", not "English". If any alphabet has a claim on being "English", it's Shavian. (Found at U+10450 to U+1047F.)

thats the kind of nitpick that got us where we are today :)

if you're talking with users, you assume alphabets and map from the languages.
