Notes/Phonotactics

 * ay = [ɛji] before a consonant, [eɪ] elsewhere
 * c = [s] before i, e or y but [k] elsewhere
 * g = [ʒ] before i, e or y but [g] elsewhere
 * i = [ i ̭] before vowels, but [i] elsewhere
 * ie = [i] at the end of a word, [j̃ɛ] before n, [je] elsewhere.
 * ill =[ɪ] after vowel(s): e.g. travaillar [tɹavaɪ]
 * m and n are mute at the ends of words and preceeding vowels are nasalized.
 * At the ends of words, r, s, t, x and z are mute, unless the next word begins with a vowel, e.g. vous êtes [vuz εt]
 * u = [ɥ] before vowels, but [y] elsewhere
 * x when in final position = [s~z~Ø]
 * k and w only appear in loan words
 * y is used mainly loanwords but also in placenames
 * Letters with accents are not considered part of the French alphabet
 * The ligature Œ is used in certain French words, and in words of Greek origin, to represent a single sound (/œ/ or /ø/). In alphabetical ordering it is treated as o plus e
 * The ligature Æ is used in a few words of Latin or Greek origin. In alphabetical ordering it is treated as a plus e

Writing System
French is written using the Latin alphabet, plus five diacritics (the circumflex accent, acute accent, grave accent, diaeresis, and cedilla) and two ligatures (æ, œ). The diacritics have phonetic, semantic, and etymological significance. Diactritics are sometimes omitted from capitalized letters.
