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'.
