- I know that we all have lacunae in reading our language.
That is why I thought that we should start from the bottom
up. In this chapter, we will learn the Nufi alphabet. Anyone
should keep in mind that the Nufi alphabet is similar to the
foreign alphabets except for
α,
ə, ŋ, ʉ, gh, nj, sh
as well as
zh
that do not have any equivalents in foreign languages. As
you know this, you can read anything written in Nufi.
The Nufi alphabet comprises twenty-seven(27) letters. Here
they are:
A,
α,
B, C, D, E, Ə, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, Ŋ, O, P, S, T, U,
ʉ, V, W, Y, Z.
