W in Swedish
Hejsan Mallobean. I assume you are Swedish, have a look at this quote from se.wiki: W ansågs allmänt som en variant av V fram till 2006 då Svenska Akademien i den trettonde upplagan av Svenska Akademiens ordlista över svenska språket började särsortera W som enskild bokstav. Svenska Akademien har inte myndighet att ändra det svenska alfabetet, så det består fortfarande av 28 bokstäver. Språkrådet anser att särsortering av bokstäverna V och W vid namnsortering bör undvikas. Detta på grund av att man inte kan höra om ett namn stavas med W eller V och detsamma gäller även vissa ord.[5] W är ett av de minst använda tecknen, men har börjat bli populärare på grund av de engelska lånorden såsom till exempel webb/webben och watt. Therefor I reverted your edits here on en.wiki. Cheers! MarB4  •ɯɒɹ• 00:41, 19 June 2011 (UTC) Could I ask you to work in the above in the Alphabet article? With the refs from se.wiki. That way we can avoid further confusion! :-) I can see from the history that many people have changed 28->29. And for good reasons, one must say! There are 29 letters in Svenska Akademiens ordlista but officially only 28 in the Alphabet. Quite confusing! Let me know, if you need help. Cheers. MarB4  •ɯɒɹ• 01:37, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Mallobean. I owe you a flat out apology: the Swedish language version of the article on the Swedish alphabet is NOT correct when saying "28". Sorry. Please have a look at my recent edit here on the English Wiki. Thanks. MarB4  •ɯɒɹ• 20:11, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
