Mbelime uses an extended Latin alphabet, as is common in many African languages. It has a phonemic orthography, which means that in principle each character corresponds with one sound.
This is the alphabetical order used to arrange the Mbelime words in this dictionary:
a | b | c | d | e | ɛ | f | h | i | k | kp | l | m | n | o | ɔ | p | r | s | t | u | w | y |
