German alphabet has 26 letters, 3 German umlauts (Ä,Ö,Ü) and one ligature (ß). Some letters are pronounced very similar to the English pronunciation, but some others are a little different. All letters of the German alphabet have the same article: das. (das A, das B, das C, das D and so on). the ß is no longer used in Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Instead of the ß, an ss is written there. The five letters A, E, I, O and U of the German alphabet are called Vokale (vowels), the other letters are called Konsonanten (consonants) – for example: B, C, D,F, G, H..
