Danish orthography is the system used to write the Danish language. The oldest preserved examples of written Danish are in the Runic alphabet, but by the end of the High Middle Ages the Runes had mostly been replaced by the Latin letters. Danish currently uses a 29-letter variant of Latin alphabet, identical to the Norwegian alphabet. ==Alphabet== The Danish alphabet is based upon the Latin alphabet and has consisted of the following 29 letters since 1980 when W was separated from V.]〔(informationsordbogen.dk - Uddybende kommentar )〕 * In monomorphematic words vowels are usually short before two or more consonants + ''e''. * Vowels are usually long before a single consonant + ''e''. * In two consecutive vowels the stressed vowel is always long and the unstressed is always short. The letters c, q, w, x and z are not used in the spelling of indigenous words. Therefore, the phonemic interpretation of letters in loanwords depends on the donating language. However, Danish tends to preserve the original spelling of loan words. In particular, a 'c' that represents is almost never normalized to 's' in Danish, as would most often happen in Norwegian. Many words originally derived from Latin roots retain 'c' in their Danish spelling, for example Norwegian ''sentrum'' vs Danish ''centrum''. The "foreign" letters also sometimes appear in the spelling of otherwise-indigenous family names. For example, many of the Danish families that use the surname ''Skov'' (literally: "Forest") spell it ''Schou''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danish orthography」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
