Aletter of the North Frisianalphabet , written in theLatin script . Word-internal and final ⟨w ⟩ alternates with ⟨f [v] and devoiced[f] respectively. It is true that written ⟨w ⟩ might be devoiced in certain clusters, e.g.düskreew st , but careful enunciation maintains[v] in these cases, so the spelling ⟨w ⟩ is justified. On Amrum (but not on Föhr), final unstressed ⟨ew ⟩ is pronounced[o] . Sylt Frisian has lost the voice distinction in unstressed position. Therefore ⟨w ⟩ frequently represents[f] in this dialect. Complicating matters more, Sylt Frisian also replaces ⟨w ⟩ with ⟨v w, v, f ⟩ may alternate in one word stem without there being any difference in pronunciation. Some stems are non-alternating; they keep ⟨f ⟩ throughout (see e.g.Wüf Filosoof w ⟩ before vowels, ⟨v ⟩ word-finally after long or unstressed vowels, ⟨f ⟩ word-finally after short stressed vowels and generally in consonant clusters (compare the conjugation ofskriiv ( North Frisian letters ) : a ,ä ,å ,ā ,b ,c ,d ,đ ,e ,ē ,f ,g ,h ,i ,j ,k ,l ,m ,n ,o ,ö ,p ,r ,s ,t ,u ,ü ,v ,w (q ,x ,y ,z )( letter name ) : IPA (key ) : /ˈdɔbəlt.ˌʋeː/ ( phoneme ) : IPA (key ) : /ʋ/ ,/v/ w

The twenty-third letter of the Swedishalphabet , called dubbel-ve and written in theLatin script . Previously treated as a variant of the letterv and not as its own independent letter.In blackletter typography,w was commonly used instead ofv . When printers (gradually during the 19th century) changed to Latin typography, spelling changed fromw tov , except in some family names. However, this change does not count as a spelling reform. In many abbreviations, Swedes sayv (ve , as in German) instead ofw (dubbelve ), e.g.BMW (be emm ve ),VW (ve ve ),WC (ve se ),WHO (ve hå o ),WWW (ve ve ve ). w
