== Alphabet ==

Slovio can be written using the [[Latin alphabet|Latin]] letters, as well as using [[Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]] letters. The Slovio letters lack any diacritic markings. 

The sound and pronunciation of the letters are similar to Esperanto, except for the Slovio letters ''cx, gx, sx'' (present only in the [[x-convention]]) and ''zx'' (
{{IPA|/ʒ/}}, equivalent to the Esperanto letter ''[[ĵ]]''). Using a letter in combination with the letter ''x'' forms a new single sound. For example, ''s'' represents the ''s'' sound, and ''sx''{{IPA|/s/}}, and ''sx'' {{IPA|/ʃ/}} - the English ''sh'' sound.  This system allows for easy transmission via computer and other communication networks without the need for any special fonts.
