If not otherwise specified, the letters are pronounced like in the IPA. Exceptions are the following:
- The letter å makes the sound /ɒ/, similarly to Swedish.
- The letter c makes the sound /ç/, similar to the h in the English "hue".
- The f and v in Lilin are bilabial, created by bringing the lips close together instead of the upper teeth touching the lower lip. Pronounced /φ/ and β/.
- The letter j makes the sound /ʝ/, similar to the letter Gamma in Greek before front vowels.
- The letter ʻ stands for the glottal stop /ʔ/, like the break in uh-oh.
- o and u are "open" /ɔ/ and /ʊ/
