[SENco-forum] do letters have sounds?

Ah, so when we talk about the sound of a letter we are speaking metaphorically!

Good answer!

Only the ones we give them.

Look at any other language such as  Gaelic or Estonian that uses the same
Latin alphabet and yet produce very different results. The vowel-consonant
rate in Estonian is 45:55; with 26 Estonian phonemes including 9 vowels:
u, o, a, o, ü, ö, ä, e, i  and compound words.

For example: '
'Kuuuurijate töööö jäääärel' = '(A) moon researchers' work-night at (the)
edge of (the) ice'.

Lovely!
