Ædhige is written with the Latin alphabet and consists of 26 distinct letters, including 4 digraphs: | |||
<p><b><font size="4">A B C D DC DH E F G H I L M N O P R S SC T TC U V W Æ Œ</font></b></p> | |||
<p>Although not distinct letters in their own right, all vowels except <i>æ</i> and <i>œ</i> can carry a grave accent. This results in the preceding consonant undergoing palatalization:</p> | |||
<p><b><font size="4">À È Ì Ò Ù</font></b></p><br> | |||
