The eleventhletter of the Swedishalphabet , calledkå and written in theLatin script . Pronounced/k/ in front ofa ,o ,u andå and/ɕ/ in front ofe ,i ,y ,ä andö (some loan words might ignore this rule).Borrowed fromSpanish k . Each pronunciation has a different source:
Filipino alphabet pronunciation is influenced byEnglish k . Abakada alphabet pronunciation is influenced by Baybayin characterᜃ ( ka ) . Abecedario pronunciation is fromSpanish k . The use of⟨ k ⟩ instead of using the Spanish-based⟨ c ⟩ and⟨ q ⟩ was promoted in the late 19th century primarily by the educated (such asJosé Rizal andTrinidad Pardo de Tavera ) because of the Baybayin character primarily being applicable to all vowels, as well as the ease of usage with Tagalog grammar rules. Its order in the Abakada alphabet was due to the order of the similar sounding⟨ c ⟩ in the Spanish alphabet.
