Ido/Alphabet

Ido shares the same alphabet as English: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z.

Vowels are pronounced much like the vowels in Spanish or Italian. These vowels are not diphthongs; do not pronounce a as in take, i as in time, o like the ou in mould, or u as in mule. There are two diphthongs: au pronounced as ow in owl, and (in a few words) eu which is pronounced like the vowels e and u run together.
