English - I know that we all have lacunae in reading our language. That is why I thought that we should start from the bottom up. In this chapter, we will learn the Nufi alphabet. Anyone should keep in mind that the Nufi alphabet is similar to the foreign alphabets except for α, ə, ŋ, ʉ, gh, nj, sh as well as zh that do not have any equivalents in foreign languages. As you know this, you can read anything written in Nufi.

The Nufi alphabet comprises twenty-seven(27) letters. Here they are:

A, α, B, C, D, E, Ə, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, Ŋ, O, P, S, T, U, ʉ, V, W, Y, Z.
