 ==Writing==
 ===Allophones===
-n is /ŋ/ before k or g
+n is pronounced /ŋ/ before k or g. "Hr" which appears in the initial position of some words is pronounced /ɾ/, although it is oft mistakenly pronounced /hɹ/.
+===Alphabet===
 See [[IPA for Evonish]]. It is a 28 letter alphabet. It is as follows: <br>
-a, p, b, c, j, t, d, þ, ð, e, f, v, k, g, i, y, h, l, m, n, o, r, s, z, u, ƕ, w, x. <br>
+a, p, b, c, j, t, d, þ, ð, e, f, v, k, g, h, i, y, l, m, n, o, r, s, z, u, ƕ, w, x. <br>
 Vowels have multiple pronunciations, but consonants do not.
-===Diacritics===
+===Diacritics & Digraphs===
-''(Work in progress...)''
+Certain letters with the diaeresis will be used to express umlaut. The umlauts can be rewritten as the standard vowel with an e after. These can be entered with an international keyboard, or copied.
-Certain umlaut letters will be used . These can be entered with an international keyboard, or copied.
+aa - /a/, ee - /e/, ii - /i/, oo - /o/, uu - /u/, yy - /ai/
-*á - /a/
-*é - /e/
-*í - /i/
-*ó - /o/
-*ú - /u/
-*ý - /ai/
-===Digraphs===
-The umlauts can be rewritten as the standard vowel with an e after. This was originally considered archaic as the diaeresis replaced this practice. With the rise of technology, however, this has become common use again when the diaeresis is not available. "Hr" which appears in the initial position of some words is pronounced /ɾ/, although it is oft mistakenly pronounced /hɹ/.
-===Punctuation===
-It is vastly similar to English punctuation, but the differences are evident:
-*Relative clauses are set off with commas.
-*Prepositional phrases are generally place before what they modify.
-*Declarative sentences end in a period.
-*Interrogative sentences end in a question mark.
-*Exclamatory sentences end in an exclamation mark.
