Consonants
Most constants are pronounced as they would be in English.

Exceptions

The letter K in Zazt always makes a hard K sound (as in kite) while C always makes a CH sound (as in Church).

B in Zazt is pronounced as if it were spelled BE. Except when it is actually spelled BE than it is pronounced like B would.

Ex: Bu(to be) is pronounced as if it were spelled Beu while Utbeil(car) would be pronounced as if it were spelled utbil.

The letter H and Y are silent when they are not at the beginning of a word. Note: even though they are usually silent letters they always effect the pronounciation of a word. How so will be decribed latter.

Vowels
Vowels are pronounced as they would be in italian.

A makes an Ah sound

E makes an AY sound as in BAY

I makes an EE sound as in FEET

O makes an OH sound

U- makes a UE sound as in CLUE

'''Note: Any italic letters refer to English pronunciation. EM for example in Zazt is pronounced as AYM because E in Zazt is pronounced as AY as in BAY. While EM (when italic) refers to its pronunciation in English. EM is pronounced as EM in EMPTY'. ''

Double, Triple Same Consonants
When every you have a word that has two of the same consonant together as in the verb rmmca (to write) the consonant is pronounced as its name in English. For example the double M in rmmca would be pronounce em as in empty. So that the word rmmca would be pronounced remca

Other ex: Lettca (to think) is pronounced letica, Uktodll (toliet) would be pronounced uktod''el. ''

When every you have a word that has three of the same constant then an apostaphe needs to be used after the first consonant such as in the word en'nn (lazy). En'nn is pronounced En'''en. ''

Double, Triple Same Vowel
A- When there are two A's together in a word such as in tllaa (phone), AA is pronounced as an enlonged A which would produce an AHH sound.

E- When there are two E's together in a word such as in fee(last) the E's are pronounced seperatly which will produce an Ay Ay sound.

I- When there are two I's together in a word the first I is pronounced as I in the Enlish word ICE while the second I is pronounced the same it normally would as EE in FEET

O- When there are two O's together in a word each O is pronounced seperately as it normally would.

U- When there are two U's together in a word each U is pronouced seperately as it normally would.

When every you have a word that has three of the same vowels then an apostaphe needs to be used after the first vowels such as in the word ga'aa (to go). Ga'aa is pronounced Ga'ahh

Vowel + Y
AY is pronounced like the AY in English such as in the word BAY. AY in Zazt is pronounced just like the vowel E in Zazt.

IY is pronouced like I in ISLAND

OY is pronouced as O would usually be pronounced as OH

EY is prounouced as E would usually be prounouced as AY

UY is prounounced as the U in UM.

All consonant clusters at the beginning of words which are not regular are irregular. Such as in the word scamca (to cause). Sc is irregular, to pronounce it you take the first letter and pronounce it as it's name in English; scamca would be pronounced escamca. Other Ex: zb (is) would be pronounced zib. Remember B is pronounced as if it were spelled BE so zb would be pronounced zibe.
