[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (3 children) Ø and Ä don't belong in the same alphabet... permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Gregers@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* Weird to read these memes when you know what sound the letters represent. Ø sounds like the u in "turn". Ä (or Æ) sounds like the a in "sad". Lämp kind of works though permalink fedilink source parent [–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 month ago Unless it's a moth alphabet permalink fedilink source parent [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 point 1 month ago* (1 child) Swedish, no? Or do they use Ö instead of Ø? I noticed Ä tends to replace the Æ in other Skandinavisk languages. I'm guessing Ü replaces Å?

The rest of us use Ø + Æ. Both alphabets use Å, but that's a separate letter. Ü isn't used in scandinavian languages (Only language I know that uses it is German) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago Turkish uses ü and ö but no ä so that's also a combination. Btw: Swedish used to have the Skandian letters but changed it due to reformation (to be more similar to German) and because their relationship to distance themselves from Norway due to political reasons permalink fedilink source parent [–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 point 4 weeks ago ä = ae, ö = oe, ü = ue, but in one vowel. Swiss german also has something like ao, but we have no letter for that, since we mostly write german. permalink fedilink source parent [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 point 1 month ago Good to know, thanks. Yeah, kamelüsü wouldn't sound right now that you mention it. But brör sounds the same as brør, and skändes sounds the same as skændes. Again, I've never studied Swedish. I'm just basing this off the pronunciations in German and Danish, which I know aren't perfect analogues, but it seems to generally make sense permalink fedilink source parent
