The language lacks any real digraphs. Doubled consonants are used to make the preceding vowel short, where it can be (sprikku "to speak" ['sprɪ.ku]); otherwise, a vowel followed by more than one consonant is always short (sprikst "you speak" [sprɪkst]).
[ʧ] is represented by Č/č, [ʃ] by Š/š, and [ʒ] by Ž/ž.
