To help readers navigate the different possible spellings, editors using other Latin orthographies are encouraged to include glosses in the double vowel system as part of their entries.

The Ojibwe alphabet is as follows:

a, aa, b, ch, d, e, g, h, ’, i, ii, j, k, m, n, o, oo, p, s, sh, t, w, y, z, zh

Double vowels (aa, ii, oo) represent long vowels and are letters in their own right. They are alphabetized after the corresponding single vowels. The character ’ (modifier letter apostrophe) represents a glottal stop, which is a significant speech sound. The digraphs (ch, sh, zh) are each also treated as a single letter unit.
