Spanish is a beautiful language that has a rich and diverse history. It is currently spoken by many people around the world.
Spanish has been influenced by many languages and also inculcated some foreign words in their language.
One interesting aspect of Spanish history is the use of the letter W.
The letter W is referred to as Extranjerismo (foreign letter) in Spanish. It is pronounced as “uve doble” or “doble u“.
Sometimes it is referred to as “ve doble” or “doble ve“.
As the letter is not native to Spanish or Latin, it doesn’t have a fixed sound. It is usually seen in words that come from other languages.
