 C is always hard as in cat.

G is always hard as in get.

DD is the voiced th as in thin or breathe, but the voicing is considerably more pronounced than in
English. It is opposed to TH, the unvoiced sound as in the or breath.

R is well and truly rolled.

RH is a voiceless R, approximately pronounced as if it were spelled hr.

DW, GW, and TW are single sounds, as in Gwendolen and twit.

Y is never a consonant.

I before a vowel at the beginning of a word is consonantal, as it is in the plural ending -ion.

Doubled consonants are both sounded clearly, unlike in English. Note that DD is considered a single
consonant.

Accent is generally on the penultimate syllable, but compound words and place names are often an
exception to this rule.
