Letter	Pronunciation
A a	a
Ai ai, Ay ay	ai̯	The only difference between ai and ay is that theoretically final ai is unstressed while final ay is stressed. In practice final ai occurs mostly in unstressed monosyllabic particles like mai.
Ao ao, Au au	au̯	These digraphs are pronounced alike. Their distribution is governed by etymological considerations, in that ao is found where there was al in Latin, and au elsewhere. Note stao, which is from stabulum!
