Swedish Alphabet
Modern Swedish is written with a 29-letter alphabet consisting of the modern 26-letter Latin alphabet plus 3 other letters: 'å', 'ä' and 'ö', added after the letter "z". For some loanwords, there are other letters or diacritical marks in use. In particular, the umlauted-u, "ü" appears in names of German origin, but it is not part of the Swedish alphabet. The symbols 'à' and 'é' are regarded as variants of 'a' and 'e'.

Famous quotes containing the word alphabet:
“I believe the alphabet is no longer considered an essential piece of equipment for traveling through life. In my day it was the keystone to knowledge. You learned the alphabet as you learned to count to ten, as you learned “Now I lay me” and the Lord’s Prayer and your father’s and mother’s name and address and telephone number, all in case you were lost.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
