The | The Northern Alska alphabet has 28 letters. The five digraphs, æy, ey, ui, iy, and øy, are counted as single letters. All of these sounds can be made with Standard Alskan (SA) orthography, with the exception of [au], which is represented by the letter <i>å</i> in Northern Alska. | ||
Certain letters, such as <i>å</i> and <i>y</i> do not correspond to their Standard counterparts. Compare the SA versions of <i>å</i> and <i>y</i> ([ɔ] and [y:]) to NA's [au] and [i:]. | |||
====Grammar==== | |||
Grammar is largely the same in Northern Alska as it is in Standard Alska, with a few execptions. | |||
When verbs are in the infinitive, <i>i</i> is placed in front of them instead of SA's <i>ett</i>: | |||
*<i>i koke</i> (NA) - <i>ett kyke | |||
