Our last Wasco language lesson covered the sounds in the alphabet. This week's lessons will cover the alphabet in more depth. Follow along with us using the sound chart printed on the latest time OO language page. The drawing of the face shows the various parts inside the mouth identifying where the sounds are formed. This Wasco alphabet sound chart is being introduced to be used as a reference by people just beginning to learn the law school language.

Learning where the sounds of the letters of the alphabet originate. It is just the beginning of actually speaking the language. Learning to speak the language will take time and dedication. In-depth language material will be available in class for those who wish to continue the language learning process. Much of the Wasco alphabet sounds the same as English. The following letters represent those similar sounds a b c h d h e or s. J K L M N P S S A Shore show t w o y and z.

That's more than half of the Wasco alphabet. So you're already halfway there even before you start. However remember that the rest of the letters will have sounds that will be much different from the English language. In the following week's lessons. We will go through every letter of the alphabet and describe how to make the sound it represents. The facial side view printed in the latest issue of this time who will help you to identify the various parts of the soundtrack to where the sounds are created. Thank you for listening into the introductory part of the Wasco sound chart today. Tomorrow we will begin to cover the individual letters of the Wasco alphabet and where the sounds are formed. Tuesday's lesson. Thank you for tuning in to K. WSO for today's Wasco language lesson. We will begin today by starting with the first part of the Wasco sound chart alphabet

and where the sounds are formed in the mouth and throat. The first symbol looks like an apostrophe. Yeah and is known as the glottal stop used to modify sounds. It is made when the throat is made tense and the vocal chords are closed. Closing and opening the lid to the esophagus and stopping the passage of air. Examples of the glottal stop are as follows. We ish. We ish bluejay eek not on eek not on magpie. The second symbol is known as the accent mark. Wasco words are normally stressed on the next to last syllable. When the stress is on a different syllable the accent mark is used.

It indicates where a person will need to put more stress into the sound the a sound is made by the tongue being slightly arched between the middle and lowest part of the mouth. It actually sounds like the ah in the English word papa. Examples of the ah sound dubba dubba here do a hi Dewi hi cal e-collar y e Kawa badger. The A with two dots or sound is made by the tongue being slightly arched between the middle and lowest part of the mouth. It is always

stressed. It sounds like the A in the English word can. An example is da gash da gash very yellow or orange. The bee sound is made by pressing the lips together and stopping the outgoing breath then releasing it with the vocal cords vibrating. It sounds like the bee in the English word boy. Examples are quite by their EBIT and EBIT Bitterroot. The CD sound is made by placing the tip of the tongue against the back of the
