Key Points About the Portuguese Alphabet:

  1. Portuguese consists of 26 letters. The letters X, Y, and W were added in 1994 for foreign words recently introduced into the Portuguese language.

  2. Portuguese letter pronunciation differs significantly from English.

  3. Portuguese employs digraphs, pairs of letters that represent unique sounds not created by combining their individual sounds. These digraphs are not considered part of the alphabet.

  4. Diacritics are widely used in Portuguese, including the cedilla (ç), acute accent (á, é, í, ó, ú), circumflex accent (â, ê, ô), tilde (ã, õ), and grave accent (à).

  5. Some letters in Portuguese have varying pronunciations, depending on the preceding letter and their position within a word. This course will help you master the Portuguese alphabet and its pronunciation in different contexts.
