@ The Real Shaft

Just for further info .... The Kikuyu Alphabet:

'a-b-c-nd-e-g-h-i-î-nj-k-m-n-o-r-t-u-û-w-y'
There is no standalone D or J instead ND,NJ are used.

MB sounds like B in Bank
B sounds like F in Father.


(F and V do not exist,except in foreign words/names).


C sounds like S in Sokomjinga or SH in Shaft.


(CH,S,SH and Z do not exist,except in foreign words/names).
The letters L,Q,P and X also do not exist,hence R for L (or vice versa) in the most common pronunciation mistakes of 'Andû a Nyûmba'.


' î ' like ' a ' in Bait
' û ' like ' o ' in Boat
Other vowels just as they are pronounced in the vowel sequence a-e-i-o-u.

Recommended book for basic reading and writing: Wîrute Gûthoma

Thanks.

We need to teach our people our ruthiomi. I also do not like seeing it written incorrectly and people just have to do something to learn the correct way of doing it. It is a wonderful language.
