1. A method of enabling input into a handheld electronic device of a type including an input apparatus, an output apparatus, and a memory having stored therein an alphabet and a plurality of language objects, the alphabet comprising a core alphabet, an extended alphabet, and a plurality of linguistic elements, the core alphabet comprising at least some of the linguistic elements, the extended alphabet comprising at least a first linguistic element not in the core alphabet, the language objects each comprising a number of the linguistic elements, the input apparatus including a plurality of input members, at least some of the input members each having a plurality of the linguistic elements assigned thereto, the method comprising: storing the core alphabet in a static portion of the memory; storing the extended alphabet in a modifiable portion of the memory; detecting as an ambiguous input a number of actuations of a number of input members including a particular input member having assigned thereto the at least first linguistic element and at least one linguistic element in the core alphabet; producing a number of prefix objects each including a number of the linguistic elements of the ambiguous input, at least some of the prefix objects comprising the at least first linguistic element; for each of at least some of the prefix objects, seeking a word object corresponding with the prefix object; determining if a selection flag has been set based on a previous selection of a default prefix object; generating after determining the selection flag has been set, from the static portion of the memory, as a number of artificial variants a number of objects for which a corresponding word object does not exist, and each comprising a linguistic element of each input member of the ambiguous input; employing in said generating fewer than all of the linguistic elements assigned to the particular input member; and outputting at least two of the number of artificial variants that are formed only of characters that are found in the core alphabet.
