Letters and letter names

[edit]

The German language is written using the Latin alphabet, along with a four special characters: Ä/ä, Ö/ö, Ü/ü, ẞ/ß

The three umlauts can also optionally be represented by the non-standard digraphs ae/oe/ue. The ẞ/ß is not used in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. ẞ is usually replaced with SS in all-caps text.

All letter names are neuter nouns that can be declined as usual.
