The Swedish alphabet (Swedish: Svenska alfabetet) is a basic element of the Latin writing system used for the Swedish language. The 29 letters of this alphabet are the modern 26-letter basic Latin alphabet ( a to z ) plus å , ä , and ö , in that order. It contains 20 consonants and 9 vowels ( a e i o u y å ä ö ).
