Occitan orthography uses acute and grave
accents (as in é and è) and a
few letter combinations (ch, tg, tj,
lh,
nh,
tz,
gn,
rr and mp) for some specific sounds. The cedile
(,) is used under the letter
c to mark its pronunciation
as [s] in front of a,
o and u.
Three other letters -- K,
W
and Y -- are used in names and words of foreign origin.
