Thanks Anne

Wikipedia has a good article about the subject:

English version:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_phonology

German version:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aussprache_der_deutschen_Sprache

For KLettres it probably only makes sense to include simple phonemes, the more
complicated phonemes that can not easily represented by letters (e.g. short
vowels) should probably be skipped.
Letters with ambiguous phonemes could still be represented with the character
name. e.g.

c: "tseh"
q: "kuh"
v: "fau"
y: "üppsilon"
ß: "esstsett"

The character sequence "sch" represents an unambiguous and simple German
phoneme (sounds like the "sh" in "fish") that could also be added.

Thanks and best regards

Ronny
