Unlike most letters of the Spanish alphabet, the w (officially called the uve doble and sometimes ve doble, doble ve or doble u) does not have a fixed sound. That is because the w is native to neither Spanish nor to Latin, from which Spanish evolved. In other words, the w appears only in words of foreign...

In standard Spanish, the "w" sound is not native and is not found in the language’s traditional phonetic inventory. However, it does appear in some specific contexts: Loanwords: Spanish has adopted words from other languages, particularly English, where the "w" sound is present. Examples include "web" (from English) and "whisky" (from Scottish English). Proper Names and Foreign Terms: The "w" sound can occur in proper names, such as "Washington," or in words related to foreign brands or places. In these cases, Spanish speakers often approximate the "w" sound with a similar sound, such as the "gu" in "guerra" or "guitarra," but with a somewhat different articulation. read less
