Letters. A letter is the first principle or least part of a word.

The letters of the English Language, called the Alphabet, are twenty-six in number.

Letters are divided into vowels and consonants. - A vowel is an articulate sound, that can be perfectly uttered by itself; as ay @y, 0; which are formed without the help of any other sound.

A consonant is an articulate sound, which cannot be perfectly uttered without the help of a vowel; as b, d, f, l, which require vowels to express them fully

The vowels are, a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w, and y. พ

W and y are consonants when they begin a word, or syllable ; but in every other situation they are vowels.

C sounds hard like k before!a, o, u, l, and riv and soft like is before e, i, and y. It sounds like z ini sacrifice, and like sh in ocean.

G sounds hard before a, o, u, l, and ris It is sometimes hard and sometimes soft before e, i,

sbi in voice, ou in ounce. An improper diphthong has but one of the vowels sounded; as, ea in eagle, oa in boat.

A triphthong is the union of the heels, pronounced by a single as eau in beau, iew in view
