Majuscule

Majuscules or capital letters (in the Roman alphabet: A, B, C, ...) are one type of case in a writing system. Compare minuscule (a, b, c, ...). Majuscules and minuscules are also known as uppercase (or upper case) and lowercase (or lower case) letters, respectively.

Some languages make no distinction between majuscules and minuscules. Latin was originally written using only one set of letters, those which we now call capitals.
