Please note that we dispense with non-alphabetical elements such as diacritics or the apostrophe. Instead of these, letter combinations are used to make the necessary distinctions. Such combinations are applied with both a number of consonants (zh kh ch sh shh for ж х ч ш щ), the palatized vowels (je jo ju ja for е ё ю я) and the umlauts (oe ue for ө ү. The "hard sign" (ъ, or хатуугийн тэмдэг) and the "soft sign" (ь, or зөөлний тэидэг) will only appear after a consonant while the letter й (хагас и, or и краткое in Russian) can never follow a consonant.
