Central Franconian

Etymology

Moselle Franconian generally has no ö. In Ripuarian:

• /œ/ is from Middle High German ö in most closed syllables, in most dialects also in open syllables.
• /ø/ is from ü in most closed syllables.
• /œː/ is from ö before certain consonants; from analogical umlaut of /ɔː/.
• /øː/ is from öu, üe.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): (short open) /œ/, (short closed) /ø/, (long open) /œː/, (long closed) /øː/

Letter

Ö

1. A letter in the German-based alphabet of Central Franconian.
2. A letter in the Dutch-based alphabet of Central Franconian.

Usage notes

• In the Dutch-based spelling, short closed /ø/ is represented by u, long closed /øː/ by eu, long open /œː/ by äö.

Finnish

Etymology

From Swedish Ö and/or its origin, German Ö, in which the umlaut (two dots) were originally a lowercase e, first placed to the side and later on top of o/O to signify fronting of the vowel via Germanic umlaut. This letter was already used in the earliest known Finnish writings in the 16th century, where it in fraktur (blackletter) still clearly displayed the lowercase e (oͤ). Over time, its usage became more regular as the Finnish spelling did, and the e simplified into two vertical lines and then two dots, as in the other regions where the letter is used.

Letter

Ö (upper case, lower case ö)

1. The twenty-eighth letter of the Finnish alphabet, called öö and written in the Latin script.

Usage notes

Should not be replaced by oe in case of technical restrictions (like in e.g. German), as that may change the meaning.
