Read the 5 vowel letters a, e, i, o and u in uppercase and lowercase. Each case has its own chart.
Vowel length matters: aa, ee, ii, oo and uu hold the sound longer. The next practice panel reviews these doubled forms; the sound hints are approximate. [1]
Study 20 consonant letters, including ñ and ŋ. The count follows Senegal’s decree rather than a shortened chart for another regional convention.
Ñ and ŋ represent different nasal sounds. Compare ny in canyon with ng in sing, keeping both distinct from n and preserving their shapes in writing. [1]
Practise 5 doubled-vowel spellings, in both cases. These are combinations of the basic vowels rather than five additional alphabet letters.
Hold the vowel steadily for longer. The decree contrasts jato, lion, with jaato, bitter aubergine; the doubled a changes the word rather than merely decorating it. [1]
Review ñ, ŋ and x, plus the low-tone mark used in this spelling convention. The letters also appear in the complete alphabet.
The grave accent is a diacritic written above a vowel. The dotted circle is only a display aid for the detached mark; it is not part of a word. [1]
Read digits 0–9 beside documented number words. Zero has an English label because a native form was not verified.
The research source writes tone marks on its Mandinka number forms. Those marks are retained in the labels; the English hints approximate sounds and do not reproduce pitch. [3]
Review the complete Mandinka alphabet: 25 entries in the documented sequence. Capital and lowercase forms are paired in each entry.
Keep ñ between n and ŋ, and keep x before y. The doubled-vowel practice entries and detached accent do not add letters to this complete inventory. [1]
