Does the Finnish alphabet skip the W, as does the Swedish? Egil


Well, it's usually listed in the alphabet, but only used in foreign names, just like Å.


The same could be said about the letters B,Q,Z and X. Only used in foreign names and load words such as "banaani". :) JNi


The letter W is considered to be the same as the letter V (as in Swedish). But they can be separated in a multilingual contex. Acording to the standard SFS 4600. Source [[1]]. JNi
