No, no. That has to be
QWERTZUIOPÜASDFGHJKLÖÄYXCVBNM And let's not forget the most lovely letter of all, which is exclusive to the german language: ß Isn't it lovely? It's sitting in its own little sky box above the letters, along with the numbers, between the 0 and the accents. -

I think that's well deserving of a "boom-boom"
 385 ****ing pages on and we're discussing keyboard layouts. If it's not time for this thread to die then when is?

Um, no. It's The Post™. The one that kills this thread. Unlike The Thread™, which was not The Post™, and was thus unsuccessful (despite my Perfection™).

You realise that comparing "ß" to "β" is blasphemy, don't you? "ß" is "sz", or "sharp 's'". The letter ß cannot be left out of the german language. Sometimes it is written as "ss" ["Straße"="Strasse"] , but that does not always work. The best example I can think of is "In Maßen" [pronounce it with a long 'a'] and in "In Massen" [with a short 'a']. "In Maßen" means "in moderation", while "In Massen" means "galore". So one beautiful letter can give a word the complete opposite meaning. -
