Sempo'gwi's alphabet consists of 24 letters, as follow:
A B D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T U V W X Y Z
Each letter represents ONE phoneme, that never changes.
Note: Where it's needed, I'll use IPA's phonetic notation, in case your browser can't show the symbols, they'll be followed by X-SAMPA.
X-SAMPA and IPA conversion table: http://www.let.rug.nl/~kleiweg/L04/Tutorial/xsamchart.gif

Under reforms
Er... I'll stop posting for a while (didn't I do this already?!), because I'm reforming some grammar points on Sempo'gwi. At the same time I think this isn't really goodm I think I SHOULD, because I'm the creator of this language.
All the posts will be deleted, and news are going to be posted when I'm done.
