Claim: The Norwegian alphabet uses several letters with homonyms: é, è, ê, ó, ò, â, and ô, which are not compulsory, but can be added to clarify the meaning of words.
Evidence: The Danish and Norwegian alphabet, called the Dano-Norwegian alphabet is based upon the Latin alphabet and has consisted of the following 29 letters since 1917 (Norwegian) and 1948 (Danish). Nynorsk uses several letters with diacritic signs: é, è, ê, ó, ò, â, and ô. The diacritic signs are not compulsory, but can be added to clarify the meaning of words (homonyms) that would otherwise be identical.
