Spanish Alphabet Activity
The Spanish alphabet was reduced to 27 letters in 2010 by the Spanish Royal Academy. The CH, RR and LL are no longer considered letters but are still used in the Spanish language. Some letters have also acquired new names. For example the letter "B" in now called "be" (rather than "be larga" or "be alta"). The letter "V" is now called "uve" (rather than "be corta" or "be chica"). The letter "W" is now called "doble uve", rather than "ve doble", "uve doble", "doble ve", or "doble u". The letter "Y" is called "ye", rather than "i griega". Finally, the name of the letter "Z" is now spelled as "ceta", not "zeta".

Note: This is an example of Latin American pronunciation. In Spain, the "s" sound in "ce" and "ceta" are pronounced with the "th" sound as in the word "thin". The annotations in parenthesis are only approximate sounds found in the English language.
