There are many letter clusters in vuhlkansu, some that aren’t typical of English, but each letter is pronounced. There are no silent letters in modern-vulcan. Many human languages have sounds not used in English, and despite not being listed in vuhlkansu, those types of enunciation are merely considered different accents of the standard alphabet, thus there is no sounds vuhlkans can’t pronounce after proper instruction and practice.
3) The Korsaya systems, Traditional Vulcan Calligraphy (Vanu-Tanaf-Kitaun) & Standard Vulcan Script (Gotavlu-Zukitan) & Vulcan Handwriting (El’ru-Kitaun): This phonetic-clarified system and available font download has some compatibility with single letter pairing to the English keyboard, but for full adaptive text generation a vulcan interface is required.
