question: The alphabet of which the letter Sad is a part includes how many letters?
answer: 28
context: Title: Abecedarius
  Passage: An abecedarius is an acrostic in which the first letter of every word, strophe or verse follows the order of the alphabet.  Abecedarius is also a generic term for an alphabet book, which dates back to Biblical writings such as the Psalms, which used successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet as the first letter of each stanza.  Another example is Old Polish poem "Skarga umierającego" ("A Dying Man Complaint").  Such poems are important historical sources for development of orthography.  They can be proofs that some letters were used long ago and later were totally forgotten.  Bishop Constantine of Preslav's abecedarius (shown on the right) from 9th century documents the early Slavic alphabet.  Nowadays abecedariuses are written chiefly for children.

  Title: Archaic Greek alphabets
  Passage: Many local variants of the Greek alphabet were employed in ancient Greece during the archaic and early classical periods, until they were replaced by the classical 24-letter alphabet that is the standard today, around 400 BC.  All forms of the Greek alphabet were originally based on the shared inventory of the 22 symbols of the Phoenician alphabet, with the exception of the letter Samekh, whose Greek counterpart Xi (Ξ) was used only in a sub-group of Greek alphabets, and with the common addition of Upsilon (Υ) for the vowel /u, ū/.  The local, so-called "epichoric", alphabets differed in many ways: in the use of the consonant symbols Χ, Φ and Ψ; in the use of the innovative long vowel letters (Ω and Η), in the absence or presence of Η in its original consonant function (/h/); in the use or non-use of certain archaic letters (Ϝ = /w/, Ϙ = /k/, Ϻ = /s/); and in many details of the individual shapes of each letter.  The system now familiar as the standard 24-letter Greek alphabet was originally the regional variant of the Ionian cities in Asia Minor.  It was officially adopted in Athens in 403 BC and in most of the rest of the Greek world by the middle of the 4th century BC.
  Title: Arabic alphabet

  Title: Khowar alphabet
  Passage: The Khowar alphabet is the right-to-left alphabet used for the Khowar language.  It is a modification of the Urdu alphabet, which is itself a derivative of the Persian alphabet and Arabic alphabet.  According to the Khowar Academy with 60 letters, the Khowar alphabet is typically written in the calligraphic Nasta'liq script, whereas Arabic is more commonly in the Naskh style.  Usually, bare transliterations of Khowar into Roman letters omit many phonemic elements that have no equivalent in English or other languages commonly written in the Latin script.  The Khowar Academy of Pakistan has developed a number of systems with specific notations to signify non-English sounds, but these can only be properly read by someone already familiar with Khowar, Persian, or Arabic for letters such as:ژ خ غ ط ص or ق and Hindi for letters such as ڑ .

The letter represents the initial sound of "ago" or "about".
