       I know there is a standard method for
         showing how to pronounce sounds but
         I'm not going to use it here. Some
         day ,when I figure out how to do
         it, I'll come back here and change
         this over to that method

          I'll use examples from the English
         when there are such.When there is no
         English example I'll do the best I
         can to describe it to you.

          There is no variation in the pronunciation
         of these letters. Each symbol, or combination
         of symbols, has only one sound.
 
                      vowels

 a- the vowel sound in the word 'father'
 ae-the vowel sound in the word 'say'
 au- the vowel sound in the word 'saw'
 e- the vowel sound in the word 'bet'
 i- the vowel sound in the word 'see'
 o- the vowel sound in the word 'no'
 oo-the vowel sound in the word 'soon'
 u- the vowel sound in the word 'but'
 w- the vowel sound in the word 'look'
 y- the vowel sound in the word 'sit'
  
         The three vowel sounds that are 
        represented by a two letter combination
        may have to be separated from a preceding  
        or,following vowel for clarity. When this
        is needed, a full colon is used to separate
        the two vowel sounds from each other
   
                  Consonants

 b- like the first letter in the word 'butter'
 c- Always like the 'ch'in church

    avoid making any 'ee' sound

    'm' nasalizes the vowels that immediately
    precede it when, 'm' is followed immediately
    by 'l' or 'r'

 Stress is always penultimate, meaning, the second 
 to the last vowel receives the stress.
