The
letter å (Å in
capital) is used in
Norwegian,
Danish,
Swedish and other
Nordic languages. It is a
vowel and is
pronounced like the A in the
English word "
ball" or like the O in "
storm". It is the 29th and last letter of the Norwegian
alphabet. Hence Norwegians say "from A to Å" instead of "from A to Z".
Example of its use in Norwegian:
Må du stå og se på? (Do you have to stand there watching?).
