Neapolitan, like traditional Italian, has 22 Latin letters and does not include k,x,w, or y. The letter "j" is present in foreign words, though in Neapolitan it is much more common. "While there are only five graphic vowels in Neapolitan, phonemically, there are eight. Stressed vowels e and o can be either closed or open and the pronunciation is different for the two. The grave accent (à, è, ò) is used to denote open vowels, and the acute accent (é, í, ó, ú) is used to denote closed vowels, with alternative ì and ù. However, accent marks are not commonly used in the actual spelling of words except when they occur on the final syllable of a word, such as Totò, arrivà, or pecché and when they appear here in other positions it is only to demonstrate where the stress, or accent, falls in some words. Also, the circumflex is used to mark a long vowel where it wouldn't normally occur (e.g. sî "you are")."
