Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

The Danish alphabet has 29 letters, including three unique vowels: Æ, Ø, and Å, which come after Z.

  • The alphabet ends with Æ, Ø, and Å, not Z.
  • Æ, Ø, and Å are distinct letters, not just accented versions of A or O.
  • Capitalization rules are similar to English, but nouns are not capitalized.
A-Z + Æ + Ø + Å = 29 letters
