Tutnese is spoken by spelling out words using a special set of names for letters other than the standard alphabetical names. The Tutnese alphabet is as follows:
Double letters in a word, rather than being repeated, are preceded by the syllable 'Squa' to indicate doubling. When the double letter begins with a vowel sound, in addition to the 'Squa' the letter name is pronounced as if it began with a 'T' – thus 'OO' would be spoken as 'Squa-Tohh'. In cases where the letter above is the same, the name of the letter is still spoken rather than the sound of the letter. For instance, 'Queen' would be spoken as 'Queue You Squa-Tee Nun'. While spaces between words are always ignored, at least one "dialectic" variation requires that the first syllable of the name of any given punctuation mark be spoken, thus a Full Stop is 'Per', a question mark is 'Que' ('Kway' or 'Kay', varies), and a comma is 'Com'. As things spoken in Tutnese take an extremely long time to say, and their accuracy depends entirely on the spelling ability of the speaker, there is little practical application of this language.
