Orthography
Wayãpi is spelt phonetically based on the International Phonetic Alphabet, and not according the French orthography.[5] The spelling uses the letter ɨ for the close central unrounded vowel between i and u.[6] E is always pronounced é, vowels with a tilde are always nasal (ã, ẽ, ĩ, õ, ũ), ö is like the German O umlaut, and b is pronounced mb. All letters are pronounced.[6]
