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
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? (I’ve never studied Swedish)
Swedish uses Ö + Ä. 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)
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
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
Ø and Ä don’t belong in the same alphabet…

Unless it’s a moth alphabet
Swedish, no?
