Can you name all 27 letters of the Spanish alphabet?
The Spanish alphabet (*el abecedario*) has 27 letters — the 26 of the standard Latin alphabet plus the unmistakable Ñ. Until 1994, the RAE (Real Academia Española) also officially recognized Ch and Ll as standalone letters, but they were dropped from the count to align Spanish with international sorting standards.
The Ñ is the symbol of the Spanish-speaking world. It came from medieval scribes writing a small *n* above another *n* (because they kept running out of room) and survived a fierce defense by the RAE in the 1990s when European Union officials tried to standardize keyboards without it. Today it appears in España, niño, mañana, piñata — words that simply wouldn't be the same without it.
You have 2 minutes to type the name of each letter (e.g. *be*, *ge*, *hache*, *eñe*, *uve*, *equis*, *zeta*). The actual letter symbols (A, Ñ, Z…) are also accepted. Will you nail every single one?
