About the Danish Alphabet
The Danish alphabet uses the Latin script with 29 letters, including three additional vowels (Æ, Ø, Å) that come after Z. These letters are distinct and not considered accented versions. The alphabet is shared with Norwegian, though pronunciation differs significantly between the two languages.
History
The Danish alphabet evolved from the Latin alphabet during the Middle Ages. The letter Å was officially added in 1948, replacing the older Aa digraph. The current 29-letter alphabet is shared with Norwegian and has remained stable since the mid-20th century.
