It's called 'el alfabeto espanol' (tilde, ~, on the 'n') = 'the Spanish alphabet'.

The letters are a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i/j/k/l/ll/m/n/n+~/o/p/q/r/rr/s/t/u/v/w/x/y/z

('n+~' means the tilde, ~, should be over the 'n'. I don't have it on my computer)

Their Spanish names (English pronunciation of these) are:

a (ah)/be (bay)/ce (thay)/de (they)/e (ay)/efe (EFFay)/ge (khay)/hache (AHchay)

i (ee)/jota (KHOtah/ka (kah)/ele (ELLay)/elle (AYLyay)/eme (EMMay)/ene (ENNay

ene+~ (ENNyay)/o (aw)/pe (peh)/cu (coo)/ere (AIRay)/erre (ERRRay)ese (ESSay)

te (tay)/u (oo)/ube (OObay)/ube doble (OObay DOBlay)/equis (ayKEES)

y griega (ee gree-AYgah)/ceta (THAYtah)

('thay/THAY' is as 'say' with a lisp; 'they' as in 'the/they')
