The modern Carashán orthography (as opposed to the old one) only has two
"irreguarities- the <n> at the end of the 3p forms is not pronounced, so
escrevain "they write" is pronounced like escrevai "I wrote"; and h is not
pronounced when it stands alone, so hore "hour" is pronounced like ore
"bronze". The Carashán and Roman alphabets have a one-to-one
correspondance, BTW, so digraphs like <sh> and <ch> are digraphs in the
Carashán alphabet too.
