Sqwerg (also spelled Squwerg) is an imaginary letter in the Latin alphabet that preceeds the letter A. The Sqwerg is generally a silent letter and is not pronounced, except on alternate Wednesdays or when desired. The sound of a Sqwerg is loosely reminicent of a drumroll and can be best effected by a vigorous drumming of the hands on a table top prior to pronouncing the remainder of the word. It is not clear if Sqwerg is a consonant or a vowel.

The existence of the Sqwerg is a matter of debate. Some say that the letter is not real because they cannot locate it on a computer keyboard, while proponents believe that it adds dramatic effect to a word that would otherwise be boring.

Perhaps the most convincing proof of existence lies in the common practice in academia of awarding an assignment the highest grade in the standard A-F grading system (an A), but subsequently including additional suggestions for improving the paper. This practice strongly implies the existence of a grade better than the letter A.

Usage of the Sqwerg is geographically restricted. It is most commonly used in Massachusetts and specifically the metropolitan Boston area.
