Cálos ~ The Alphabet

The alphabet is some of the hardest things I know to come up with, and I promise you that it is a lot of reformations when it comes to this... Especially for me at least. I recently had a reformation, and I feel that I really like this one, and hopefully I'll stick to it.

The stress always falls on the accented/long vowel when there is one. When not, it falls on the first syllable.

Basic Letters:

Aa - [a]
Bb - [b]
Cc - [k]
Dd - [d]
Ee - [e]
Ff - [f]
Gg - [ɣ]
Hh - [ç] / [ɧ] (optionable)
Ii - [ɪ]
Ll - [l]
Mm - [m]
Nn - [n]
Oo - [ɔ]
Pp - [p]
Rr - [r]
Ss - [s]
Tt - [t]
Uu - [u]
Vv - [v]
Ww - [w]
Yy - [y]
Zz - [θ]

Additional Letters:

Áá - [aː]
Éé - [eː]
Íí - [iː]
Óó - [ɔː]
Úú - [uː]
Ýý - [yː]
Ćć - [tʃ]
Śś - [ʃ]
Thth - [ð]
