Cadelic uses the basic Latin alphabet with the addition of the letters æ, ê, and ô. The alphabet is listed below in alphabetical order with the corresponding phoneme represented by the letter to the right:
- a [a]
- æ [æ]
- b [b]
- c [k]
- d [ð]
- e [ɛ]
- ê [jeʊ]
- g [ɣ]
- h [h]
- i [i]
- l [l]
- m [m]
- n [n]
- o [ɔ]
- ô [joʊ]
- p [p]
- r [r]
- s [s]
- t [t]
- u [w]
- v [v]
- z [z]
Considering that there are only 21 letters and at least 30 phonemes and at least 6 significant allophones in the language, this is not an ideal system of romanization. I should start this article by saying this: I don't care. My romanization is naturalistic. My conculture by no means uses the roman alphabet, it's just convenient for me and everyone else in the real world to use. And I want it to be pretty.
The rest of this article will be me explaining each individual letter and its individual pronunciations.

Note that some consonant letters can be doubled to indicate gemination.
Also note that vowels written next to each other indicate separate syllables. The letter u after a vowel marks a diphthong. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
