Consonants

Most Lojban consonants are the same as English, but there are some exceptions:

g 

always g as in gum, never g as in gem

c 

sh, as in ship

j 

as in measure or French bonjour

x 

as in German Bach, Spanish Jose or Arabic Khaled

The English sounds ch and j are written as tc and dj.

Lojban doesn't use the letters H, Q or W.
