What languages use U with two dots above it?

The letter "U" with two dots above it, also known as ü, is used in several languages, primarily in those that use the Latin alphabet. Here are some of the most prominent:

* German: The "ü" is a common vowel in German, representing the sound of the English "oo" in "moon".

* French: While less common than in German, "ü" appears in some French words, primarily borrowed from German or other languages.

* Turkish: "ü" represents the sound of the English "oo" in "moon".

* Hungarian: "ü" is also present in Hungarian, representing a similar sound to "oo" but with a slightly higher pitch.

* Finnish: "ü" represents a sound similar to "oo" but with a slightly more rounded lip position.

* Swedish: "ü" is used in a few words borrowed from other languages.

* Spanish: "ü" is occasionally used in Spanish words borrowed from other languages, particularly German.

It's important to note that the pronunciation of "ü" can vary slightly between languages, but it generally represents a sound close to the English "oo" in "moon".
