Swedish alphabet
a basic element of the writing system used for the Swedish language consisting of 29 letters
The Swedish alphabet (Swedish: Svenska alfabetet) consists of nearly the same letters as the English alphabet except for the three extra letters in the end being Å å, Ä ä, Ö ö.
These letters can be found on words such as:
- Ål (meaning eel)
- Äpplen (meaning apples)
- Öppna (meaning open)
While the Swedish alphabet uses all of the letters of the English alphabet, the letters Q, W, and Z are only used in words borrowed from other languages (e.g. Qatar, websidda, zebra).
