The Danish alphabet consists of 28 letters:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, X, Y, Z, Æ, Ø, Å

The letter "W" is usually omitted, since it is seen as a variant of "V". The letter "Å" was introduced in Danish in 1948, but its place as the last letter of the alphabet was instituted in 1955.

In computing, several different coding standards have existed for this alphabet:
