Very few of these languages have a regular spelling
system, and those that do, often use unique letters, so the words are written
here according to pronunciation: vowels being generally as in German and consonants
as in English. Capital 'N' is like French 'N' in bon, 'E' is like French unaccented
e, and capital 'G' is a 'g' pronounced far back in the throat.
