For internet purposes, I am using the Latin-esque spelling of Aspele.
There is an actual alphabet, however.
Using this spelling system, the letters w and y are already being used as
two of the consonants (w = bilabial unvoiced fricative, y = Z [in IPA]).
Therefore, the glides associated, in English, with w and y are represented
by u and i. This is, obviously, how these sounds were portrayed in Latin
as well. So, the word "spezgeueietis" is pronounced /spEs kE wE 'jE tIs/
(or "spess-keh-weh-YEH-tiss").
More later!!!
