Note:

• [ɱ]¹ and [ŋ]² are considered allophones of the normal nasal phonemes in front of [f]/[v] and [k]/[g] respectively.

Orthography

Teycil uses the normal Latin alphabet to be written. Consonants are written with all available letters (except for w, which is not used); as the number of consonantal phonemes is higher than the letters, some digraphs are used (but they are not taken as single letters).

Vowels are more complicated. Long vowels are marked with a makron (¯) over the corresponding letter. Other types of letters are used to mark the weak vowels.

Consonants

Simple letters are used to mark these consonants, except for j, which is always part of a digraph, and y, which can represent the consonant [j], or it can be part of a digraph:
