List of Latin-script pentagraphs
In the Latin script, pentagraphs are found primarily in Irish orthography. There is one archaic pentagraph in German orthography, which is found in the English words Nietzschean and derivatives (Nietzscheanism, Nietzscheanist, Nietzscheism, Nietzscheist).
Used between a velarized ("broad") and a palatalized ("slender") consonant:
⟨abhai⟩, ⟨obhai⟩, ⟨odhai⟩, and ⟨oghai⟩ are used to write /əu̯/ (like RP 'oa' in 'goat'; /oː/ in Ulster)
⟨amhai⟩ is used to write /əu̯/
⟨adhai⟩ and ⟨aghai⟩ are used to write /əi̯/ (/eː/ in Ulster)
⟨aidhe⟩, ⟨aighe⟩, ⟨oidhi⟩, ⟨oidhe⟩, ⟨oighi⟩ and ⟨oidhe⟩ are used to write /əi̯/
⟨omhai⟩ is used to write /oː/
⟨umhai⟩ is used to write /uː/
