    Swedish uses Ö + Ä. The rest of us use Ø + Æ. Both alphabets use Å, but that’s a separate letter. Ü isn’t used in scandinavian languages (Only language I know that uses it is German)

      Good to know, thanks. Yeah, kamelüsü wouldn’t sound right now that you mention it. But brör sounds the same as brør, and skändes sounds the same as skændes.

      Again, I’ve never studied Swedish. I’m just basing this off the pronunciations in German and Danish, which I know aren’t perfect analogues, but it seems to generally make sense
