The (modern) Danish alphabet

  1. When did people start using å instead of aa? People usually spell Aarhus and Høje Taastrup with double a instead of å.
  2. When did the Danish language settle on using ø instead of ö? I've noticed in old S-Train maps from 1949 they use ö instead of ø.

hi! FYI, if you don't get responses in this sub, you might try /r/linguistics - they have a stickied post for quick questions

Å was introduced in 1948. The use of aa in lieu of å is seen mostly in personal names, some Danish geographical names, and in transliterations where å is unavailable.

I've been looking for something on Ø, but I can't find anything so far. Like /u/Searocksandtrees mentioned, perhaps try /r/linguistics?
