Århus Mayor Nicolai Wammen is looking to get rid of the diacritic above Denmark´s second city´s name to revert to its original Aa in order to unify foreign and domestic usage of the name.
The Danish alphabet has 29 letters, of which Å is the 29th. In the language reform of 1948 Å replaced the traditional Aa in denoting the character and sound of what linguists term a long ‘a’. Some cities have maintained the form Aa in their names, including Aalborg and Aabenraa.
