Editing Cheyenne language (section)

===Orthography===
The Cheyenne [[orthography]] of 14 letters is neither a pure phonemic system nor a [[phonetic]] transcription; it is, in the words of linguist Wayne Leman, a "pronunciation [[orthography]]". In other words, it is a practical spelling system designed to facilitate proper pronunciation. Some allophonic variants, such as voiceless vowels, are shown. {{angbr|e}} represents the phoneme symbolized {{IPA|/e/}}, and {{angbr|š}} represents {{IPA|/ʃ/}}.

====Vowels====

* a – {{IPA|[a]}}
* e – {{IPA|[e/ɪ/ɛ]}}
* o – {{IPA|[o]}}

====Consonants====

* h – {{IPA|[h/s/ʃ]}}
* k – {{IPA|[k]}}
* ' – {{IPA|[ʔ]}}
* m – {{IPA|[m]}}
* n – {{IPA|[n]}}
* p – {{IPA|[p]}}
* s – {{IPA|[s]}}
* š – {{IPA|[ʃ]}}
* t – {{IPA|[t]}}
* v – {{IPA|[v]}}
* x – {{IPA|[x]}}

====Tones====
* á, é, ó – high tone
* ȧ, ė, ȯ or â, ê, ô – voiceless or whispered

Low tone is usually unmarked.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cheyenne language, alphabet, and pronunciation |url=https://omniglot.com/writing/cheyenne.htm |website=Omniglot |access-date=27 June 2021}}</ref>
