How does that fly with foreign scripts? It certainly won't work with Greek, Arabic, Korean, Chinese, Japanese and the Indian languages.

Again, this isn't really about detecting vowels; it is exactly about detecting upper- and lower-case examples of the characters a, e, i, o, and u.

Language is not an issue; ø and é are not considered "vowels" by this article (nor is y).

Sure, there is only ASCII, and nobody needs more. ø and é are not considered "vowels", ha!
