The ngwa dialect shares similar alphabets with the Igbo but with additional alphabet.[1][2][3]

The tones are indicated with diacritics:

  • the low tone is indicated with the grave accent : ⟨à, è, ẹ̀, ì, ị̀, ò, ọ̀, ù, ụ̀⟩ ;
  • the falling tone is indicated with the circumflex accent : ⟨â, ê, ệ, î, ị̂, ô, ộ, û, ụ̂⟩ ;
  • the downstep is indicated with the macron : ⟨ā, ē, ẹ̄, ī, ị̄, ō, ọ̄, ū, ụ̄⟩.
