Starting with Alphabets

As it is with the English language, IsiXhosa also has 26 alphabets; the difference is only in the pronounciation. To simplify matters I'll just list them:

A... as in Alfa
B... (softer than the English B "baby")
C... (click sound)
D... as in Donkey
E... as in Elephant
F... as in Fun
G... as in Go
H... (bolder than the English H "hummer")
I... as in In
J... as in Job
K... (sharper than the English K "King")
L... as in Lonely
M... as in Mother
N... as in Not
O... as in Over
P... (sharper than the English P "Point")
Q... (click sound)
R... as in Romeo (not origional in isiXhosa. The origional always goes with other consonants & never alone)
S... as in Sun
T... as in Toyota (sharper than the English T "Time")
U... as in fUll
V... as in Victory
W... as in Wall
X... (click sound)
Y... as in Yellow
Z... as in Zulu

Now, you will notice that some sounds are "sharper","softer" or even "bolder" in Xhosa pronounciation. With these words one can use the English pronounciation and get away with it, for they are quite closely pronounced. We do however have a way of writting those that should sound like the English. This is done when more than one letter(consonant) is used. Few examples:

BH... as in Ball
PH... as in Point
TH... as in Time
KH... as in King

H is used with other consonants to either make them bolder or softer (as is with the above axample). H is also used to produce other sounds when used with other letters. e.g :

SH... as in Shoe
TSH... as in Chalk

The Clicks are a bigger challenge as they can some almost alike to someone who is not used to, and the fact that the English language does not have the makes it impossible to try and explain their sound in writting.
Like most of Xhosa consonants, they can be used with other consonants to make different sounds. e.g

C...GC...CH...NC...NGC...NKC
Q...GQ...QH...NQ...NGQ...NKQ
X...GX...XH...NX...NGX...NKX

Other consonant that go together to change a sound are:

NT
MB
TY
NTY
DL
NDL
NY
NTS
MF
NZ
NDZ
NTL
NTSH
TYH
NW
NG
NK

For the above mentioned words, the consonants are promounced toghether (i.e at the same time). Sometimes you do find words with 2 consonants (in the same place) but pronounced almost seperately (i.e each consonant is almost stressed0. Below are some examples:

MV
MX
MT
MB (sometimes)
MF (sometimes)

Those are Xhosa letters of a alphabet. questions are welcome, otherwise I hope with time thing will get clearer... :-)
