Question

what is the french alphabet

Answer 1

The French alphabet uses the same 26 Latin letters as English. Here they are with the usual French names and a simple pronunciation guide:

- A a — "a" (ah)
- B b — "bé" (bay)
- C c — "cé" (say)
- D d — "dé" (day)
- E e — "e" (uh / schwa; or "é" sound)
- F f — "effe" (eff)
- G g — "gé" (zhay)
- H h — "ache" (ash)
- I i — "i" (ee)
- J j — "ji" (zhee)
- K k — "ka" (kah)
- L l — "elle" (ell)
- M m — "emme" (emm)
- N n — "enne" (enn)
- O o — "o" (oh)
- P p — "pé" (pay)
- Q q — "ku" (koo)
- R r — "erre" (airʁ)
- S s — "esse" (ess)
- T t — "té" (tay)
- U u — "u" (u as in French “tu”, close front rounded)
- V v — "vé" (vay)
- W w — "double vé" (doo-bluh-vay)
- X x — "iks" (eeks)
- Y y — "i grec" (ee grek)
- Z z — "zède" (zed)

Notes:
- Accents (é, è, ê, â, ô, ù, ï, ü, etc.), the cedilla (ç), and ligatures (æ, œ) are not separate letters but important diacritics/characters in French spelling and pronunciation.
- If you want audio or practice spelling words letter-by-letter, I can provide examples or recordings.
