Introduction to the Spanish Alphabet
The Spanish alphabet, or "el alfabeto" or "el abecedario" in Spanish, is a fundamental part of the Spanish language. It consists of 27 letters, including the standard 26 letters found in the English alphabet, plus one additional letter:
Ñ (eñe) - a letter unique to Spanish and a few other languages.
