ABSTRACT
The Danish alphabet contains the same letters as the English alphabet, but after z come three additional letters: Æ/æ, Ø/ø and Å/å in that order. The letters c, q, w and x are less commonly used in Danish and are usually found only in loanwords. The spelling reform of 1948 saw three important changes:
1 The letter Å/å was introduced. 2 The capital letter at the beginning of nouns (as in German) was abolished. 3 The modals kunde, skulde, vilde became kunne, skulle, ville (could, should, would).
