Pronunciation Guide

While consonants in Ojibwe sound roughly like their English equivalents, vowels in Ojibwe have their own unique sound. When speaking, an emphasis (or accent) is applied on the first double vowel in a word. Double vowels are the vowels with two letters, with the exception of “e” which has a double vowel or long vowel sound.
