The Spanish alphabet, also known as the 'abecedario' consists of either 27 or 29 letters, depending on who you ask. This means either there is only one extra letter or three extra letters - not four. There used to be three extra letters for a total of 29; those are:

  • ch (ce hache)
  • ll (elle)
  • ñ (eÅ„e)

However in 2010, the Real Academia Española, the official institution that oversees the Spanish language, dropped 'ch' and 'll' from the abecedario, saying that they are technically digraphs, not letters (sets of two letters representing a single sound). This means that ñ is now, officially, the only 'extra' letter in the alphabet for a total of 27.

Your mileage may vary though - if you are taking a Spanish class, ask your teacher if they prefer to include 'ch' and 'll' in their alphabet.

Why does Spanish use English letters?

Spanish uses English letters because both languages share the same Latin alphabet. The English alphabet, which is derived from the Latin alphabet, includes the same letters as Spanish, with a few additional letters like "k" and "w" that are not commonly used in Spanish. This shared alphabet makes it easier for Spanish speakers to learn and understand English, and vice versa.
