Haitian Creole/Alphabet

This is currently the standard orthography of Haitian Creole. Keep in mind that other orthographies can be used. It is very phonetic.

In Haitian Creole, the stress always goes at the end of a word, but it uses only one accent, the grave, which looks like this: $$\grave{}$$. This is a phonetic difference, not a phonemic one.

You will notice that there is no need for the letters q and x in Haitian Creole. The letter h is very rarely used except in ch and pronounced like in English. The letter u occurs only in ou and ui. C occurs only in ch. Spelling is very phonetic but one must use the official orthography. Lots of Haitians and foreigners out of ignorance or often times on purpose, keep on misspelling the language. This is very unfortunate for Haitian Creole is a very beautiful language with a fine orthographic system.

All letters in Haitian Creole have one sound, and all sounds in Haitian Creole have one spelling. And… this is why this language, like most languages, is phonetic.
