The alphabet in Akbiekdi consists of 21 letters:

a, b, e, d, i, f, o, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, u, v, x, z


The following letters are pronounced as in English:

b, d, f, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, s, t, v, z


The vowels are pronounced as follows:

a	as a in bad
e	as e in fed
i	as i in sin
o	as o in dog
u	as oo in cool

When vowels are doubled, they are pronounced as long vowels.


These consonants are pronounced differently:

g	always hard as in good, never as in ginger
r	always rolled as in Italian
x	always as sh in shy

When consonants are doubled, they must be pronounced twice, as the
Ls when saying "full life" in English.


Every letter is always pronounced.


The stress of words always falls on the next to the last syllable. 


Here is the pronunciation for a few words:

naro	"NAH-roh", room
mase	"MAH-seh", I, me
