LFN is normally written using the Latin script. A parallel Cyrillic script is also available:  LFN vowels ("a", "e", "i", "o" and "u") are pronounced as they are in Spanish or Italian (approximately as in "bar", "bait" or "bet", "beet", "boat" or "ball", and "boot"). The vowels can vary, depending on the speaker, especially "a", "e", and "o", as indicated in the chart above. Diphthongs are "ai" , "au" , "eu" , and "oi" (approximately as in "my", "cow", ""eh-w"", and "boy"). The letters "i" and "u" are used as semivowels ( and ) initially before a vowel, between vowels, and in "cu" and "gu" before a vowel. The letter "n" is pronounced as in "think" () before "g" and "c", and in final "-ng". The letters "e" and "o" may vary in pronunciation, as indicated above by tildes (~). Although stress is "not" phonemic in LFN, most words are stressed on the vowel or diphthong before the last consonant (e.g. "CA-sa", "a-be-ON", "BA-ia"). Words with no vowel before the last consonant are accented on the first vowel (e.g. "TI-o"). Words ending in a diphthong are accented on the diphthong (e.g. "ca-CAU"). Those ending in the double vowels "ae, ao, ea, eo, oa, oe," or "ui" are accented on the first of these vowels (e.g. "i-DE-a"). The addition of "-s" or "-es" for plural nouns does not alter the stress. The phoneme /h/ is highly marginal and may be silent. The letters "k", "q", "w", and "y" ("ka", "qua", "wa", and "ya") are available for words and names from other languages. Variations in pronunciation are acceptable. LFN is an SVO (subject-verb-object) language. Modifiers generally follow what they modify, as do prepositional phrases and subordinate clauses. Other than the plural in -s or -es, nouns are invariant.
