ALPHABET :

Each of these letters stands for a SINGLE
SOUND; no gliding or diphthonguization allowed in French, even though, it is a natural phenomenon/thing in English.
This French ALPHABET alone could not cater for all the sounds used in French oral communication, so the French decided to create extra character-sound events by placing accents onto the
vowels, nasalizing the vowels, combining vowels into vowel clusters and
making changes to consonants too, in order to avoid possible clashes
and confusion in the French language.
Did they really succeed?
Well, see it for yourself.
