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'.

“I wonder, Mr. Bone man, what you’re thinking
of your fury now, gone sour as a sinking whale,
crawling up the alphabet on her own bones.”
