  • The letter Ґ, ґ (G, g) is occasionally used but is not part of the standard Belarusian alphabet.
  • The apostrophe ' (апо́страф (apóstraf)) is often considered a 33rd letter of the Belarusian alphabet. It is used to separate consonants from following vowels, as in п'я́ны (pʺjány) “drunk”.

Syllabic stress

[edit]

Syllabic stress is indicated by an acute accent ´ over the stressed vowel:

  • Cyrillic: А́, а́, Е́, е́, І́, і́, О́, о́, У́, у́, Ы́, ы́, Э́, э́, Ю́, ю́, Я́, я́.
  • Roman: Á, á, Jé, jé, Í, í, Ó, ó, Ú, ú, Ý, ý, É, é, Jú, jú, Já, já.

E.g., ры́ба (rýba, fish)

  • <ё> is almost always stressed, and is thus automatically transcribed as jó, unless an accent is provided on another vowel of the word (e.g. ра́дыё (rádyjo)); <ё́> thus shouldn't be used.
  • <о> is almost always stressed, and is thus automatically transcribed as ó, unless an accent is provided on another vowel of the word. However, it is customary to write the accent anyway: <о́>
