But Danes are aware of this, and most of them speak very good English. In addition, menus are often in English or German. In the Danish alphabet, the following letters come after z: å, ø and æ. (Århus, for example, comes at the end of the alphabet.) Å is used in place of aa, although the city of Aalborg prefers to write the two vowels out in full.
