Pronounciation
The Ejahn language has many sounds that exist in its letters. There are no rules for when to use a certain sound in most cases, however, there are some that do follow a rule. Generally, words will sound similar to one another unless they are borrowed words from another language(which is more frequent than you might think). Words that look different from other Ejahn words or look familiar from another language(possibly English) will most likely be pronounced the same as they would normally. For example: the greek word iota is pronounced the same in Ejahn, only it means market.
Here is the pronounciation of Ejahn letters.
A a : pronounced like short o as in dog; pronounced like long a as in cape; pronounced like short a as in cat.
O o : always pronounced like long o as in robe.
E e : pronounced like long e as in see; pronouced like short e as in red.
C' c' : pronounce name(all letters followed by ' are pronounced with their english name).
I i : pronounced like long i as in bite; pronounced like short i as in pig; pronouced like long e as in Spanish or French word si.
U u : pronouced like long u as in use; pronouced like short u as in bus.
Fl fl : pronounced as in flag.
Pr pr : pronounced as in pride.
Oy oy : pronounced as in joy.
Oi oi : pronounced as in French word moi.
Th th : can be pronounced as t in tap or as th in the. This rule is for ch as well.
H h : sometimes pronounced as h in hot, sometimes not pronounced at all. Usually pronouced if a vowel follows, unless a consenant preceeds the h, you pronouce the it instead. Also not pronounced at the end of a word or if a consenant follows the h.
Examples:
wethu - pronounced weh - tu
mhlaba - pronounced m - lah - bah
hlengwa - pronouced h - lehn - gwah
Tion tion : pronouced as in nation.
Ing ing : pronouced as in sing.
Ang ang : pronouced as in bang.
Oo oo : pronouced as in boom or as in book.

C c : pronounced like k as in cane or like s as in sincere.
Y y : pronouced like y as in yard; like long i as in by; like long e as in happy; like short i as in gym.
