The Five Added Sounds:

ch                    /tS/
hl                    /K/?
sl                    /s_l/?
tl                    /tK/?
th                    /T/

Note:y as a vowel is also an "added sound"
though one that was added at a fairly early stage.
The original intent was that every letter would only
represent one sound.
