Remove ä,ö,ü

In German ä, ö and ü are not consider as indepenent letters (unlike in scandinavian language), so they should be removed from the Nazi-Alphabet.

If you take aany German dictionary, you find any dedicated chapters to ä,ö and ü. If a word start with one of these letter, you find it in the a, o or u section.

They actually are. When I went to German elementary school, the alphabet ended on X, Y, Z, ß, Ä, Ö, Ü.

Yet there is no word beginning with an ß.

Do not remove.

Citation from the Duden (German Orthography, spelling dictionary):

Die Umlaute ä, ö, ü und äu werden wie die nicht umgelauteten Selbstlaute a, e, i, o und u behandelt.

The mutated vowels [...] are treated like the non-mutated vowels [...].
