Secwepemc Language

The Secwepemc alphabet has 43 letters, see the chart below. The borrowed English alphabet was used to develop the Secwepemc alphabet. Although there are only 26 letters in the English alphabet, linguists combined letters of the English alphabet to represent the sounds of the Secwepemc alphabet in the early 1970’s. Even though the English alphabet has been used, the pronunciation of those letters is phonetically different.

Secwepemc people and others wishing to learn more about the language should contact the Secwepemc Cultural Education Society for further information to language studies.
