Greek alphabet: sounds of letters and syllables




The names of the letters are transliterated and should not be taken as a guide to pronunciation. The fourth
column has examples of syllables for practice. Without any consistency, at least once the capital consonant
is used.
Vowels are read by themselves, since each constitutes a syllable; each consonant is read with a couple of
vowels (haphazardly chosen) to facilitate the practice.
