The Nuu-chah-nulth alphabet has forty-five letters. This is a phonetic alphabet, which means that each letter represents a different sound, and every sound is represented by only one letter. 

• The common consonants h k m n p s t w y are pronounced the same as in English.

• The hard plosives c̓ č̓ k̓ kw̓ ƛ̓ p̓ t̓ have a stronger release than plain plosives. To
  practise them, say them with your mouth without exhaling from the lungs.
