Cha

Phonology
The Latin transliteration of Ja uses an alphabet of 16 letters: A [/ɑ/, /a/] K [/k/] E [/e/, /ɛ/] H [/h/] I [/i/, /ɪ/] J [/ʒ/ or /ʤ/; /ʃ/ after /t/] L [/l/] M [/m/] N [/n/] O [/ɔ/, /o/] P [/p/] R [/r/] S [/s/] T [/t/] U [/u/, /ʊ/] V [/v/].

- Overall, the letters sound the way you would expect them to be (standard Latin pronunciation). All letters are generally pronounced the same way regardless of their placement.

- As an exception from this rule, the letter "i" tends to form diphthongs /aɪ/, /eɪ/, /oɪ/ and /uɪ/ when it follows another vowel; other vowels are pronounced separately from each other.

Ja words are stressed on the last root vowel. When it is also the last vowel of a multi-syllable word, the stress is sometimes denoted by an accent: á, é, í, ó, ú. In certain grammatical constructions the accent is also put on one-syllable words.

Phonotactics
Generally, Ja syllable structure can be described as (C)v(C). Out of all consonants, however, K and P cannot be syllable-final, while V and T can end a syllable but cannot be word-final.
