## Romanization
L'ewa's romanization is intentionally simple. Most of the IPA letters keep their
letters, but the ones that do not match to Latin letters are listed below:
| Pronunciation | Spelling |
|---------------|----------|
| /j/ | *y* |
| /ɛ/ | *e* |
| /ʃ/ | *x* |
| /ʒ/ | *z* |
| /ʔ/ | *'* |
| /ʙ̥/ | *b* |
This is designed to make every letter typeable on a standard US keyboard, as
well as mapping as many letters as possible on the home row of a QWERTY
keyboard.
