K'iche' alphabet

The K'iche' alphabet uses Latin letters to represent its sounds, similar to English, but includes some unique characters. It has 26 letters: A, B, C, E, K, L, M, N, O, Q, R, S, T, U, and W, plus special characters like ch, aj, and q' to denote specific sounds. Some sounds are represented by combinations of letters, such as "ch" for a 'ch' sound. The alphabet allows for accurate pronunciation of K'iche' words and reflects the language's distinct phonetics within a standardized written form.
