There are two Latin alphabets: a more common one based on the transcription of Semitic and Cushitic languages of Ethiopia ("Ethiopianist"), and a less common one based more on other Bantu languages ("Bantuist"). While the Bantuist transcription has its advantages, this article uses the Ethiopianist alphabet. | |||
In both alphabets, clusters that can be confused with digraphs are separated with an apostrophe - e.g. ''s'h'' /sh/ vs ''sh'' /ʃ/. | |||
