Alphabet
a b c ch d dd e f ff g ng h i l ll m n o p ph r rh s t th u w y
The digraphs ch, dd, ff, ng, ph, rh, th are considered to be single letters and dictionary entries are sorted accordingly - e.g. licio, llan, llwy are in the correct order.
The circumflex represents a long vowel, and is always used.
The grave and acute accents are used to represent vowel shortening and accent shift respectively, but are seldom used.
Diaresis represents a vowel which is to be fully pronounced, not as a glide or semivowel. It may be omitted in casual writing.
Accented vowels are not considered to be separate letters.
