Gevey has a script, but can also use the latin alphabet The script can be seen at http://www.kalieda.org/gevey/say.html

Nope. However, the latin version uses marks over initial vowels to show whether the word requires w, h or y sound before it, when the word follows a word ending in a vowel.

Each Gevey script letter has its own sound. No letters are combined to make different sounds - but then again, there are 52 letters in the alphabet. In the latin version, h is used to combine with other letters to produce new sounds, and certain combinations of vowel letterss are used for dipthongs etc. Rik -- The Gevey language reference http://www.kalieda.org/gevey/index.html
