Hebrew Alphabet & Pronunciation

Hebrew is written from right to left and has no upper/lower case. The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters. Five letters have different forms when used at the end of a word. Originally, the alphabet was an abjad consisting only of consonants. Niqqud is the system of dots that help determine vowels and consonants, but this 'full-spelling' is generally limited to learning materials. Both traditional consonants and the Niqqud vowels are shown in the list below. When they are used, the vowel sounds are attatched to the consonants by adding them below the letter.
