THE ALPHABET
Оглавление«1.» The Latin alphabet contains the same letters as the English except that it has no w and no j.
«2.» The vowels, as in English, are a, e, i, o, u, y. The other letters are consonants.
«3.» I is used both as a vowel and as a consonant. Before a vowel in the same syllable it has the value of a consonant and is called I consonant.
Thus in Iū-li-us the first i is a consonant, the second a vowel.
