Which Latin script? :)

Everyone on the nearby continent has some accented characters and possibly both English and their national keyboard installed.

Incidentally, this is a major complaint with smartphone OS designers that only speak English and don't realize there are places where people mix languages daily. That predictive spell checker should be configurable to accept more than one language at a time...

And there's no need to be to speak some "obscure" language (from the point of view of the US-centric designers) to hit this issue. iOS got better at mixed french / english, but it still cannot prevent itself from correcting "the" (the english the) to "thé" (french for tea). Oh well.
