Danish and Norwegian alphabet

The Danish and Norwegian alphabet, called the Dano-Norwegian alphabet is based upon the Latin alphabet and has consisted of the following 29 letters since 1917 (Norwegian) and 1948 (Danish). (Listen to a Danish speaker recite the alphabet in Danish.) The "foreign" letters also sometimes appear in the spelling of otherwise-indigenous family names.
