A Compendious Guide to the Low Dutch Language.

THe Low-Dutch have in their Alphabet the same Lettres as the English; but they pronounce them after a different manner, and according to the English dialect thus:

A, Aw. B, bea. C, cea. D, dea. E, ea. F, ef. G, ghea. H, haw. I, ee. J, jea. K, kaw. L, el. M, em. N, en. O, o. P, pea. Q, kuw. R, er. S, es. T, tea. U, uw. V, vea. W, wea. X, ix. Y, i. Z, zeddet.

Among these A, E, I, O, U, Y. are Vowels, but J and V are Consonants. How these Letters, that differ in the use and pronunciation from the English, are pronounced, may be seen by the following list.
