Some characters if attempted to tranlated into certain pronociation helpers like a double dotted 'i' and a combinations of characters 'c' and 'e' and a combination of characters 'a' and 'e' telling us that in the original language they used weird foreign accents.. The letter 'u' and 'v' are both the same character and the letters 'x' and 'z' are both the same character telling us that in the original language one of them was not used often. There is a singal character for 'th' and 'ng' and 'ea' and 'gh' and 'kh' telling us that these combination sounds were used often. There is not a character for the letter 'q' telling us that they did not use the 'q' sound.
