Græko-Latina uses the 26 standard letters of the Latin alphabet with the addition of æ and œ, which may be written as ae and oe if it's more convenient. All letters have their IPA values except <c>, q>, and <x>, which are /t͡s or t͡ʃ/, /kʷ/, and /ʃ/ respectively. Four digraphs (ai, au, eu, oi) make the implied diphthong, and ch, rh, and th have their Greek pronunciations (/x/, /r̥/, and /θ/, respectively). Q does not pair with u, as in most European languages, as this is redundant. | Græko-Latina uses the 26 standard letters of the Latin alphabet with the addition of æ and œ, which may be written as ae and oe if it's more convenient.

This way the letters and digraphs have as close as possible to their pan-European values as possible while also being phonetic. | |||
