	Mi'gmaq has five main or "full" vowel sounds: ''a, e, i, [[O\|o]]'' and ''u''. In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipa International Phonetic Alphabet] they are written [a], [e], [i], [o], and [u]. It also has a reduced vowel, [ə] in IPA, called, [[Schwa\|'''schwa''']], that is not always written using the Listuguj orthography. When it is, it is written with an apostrophe.		Mi'gmaq has five main or "full" vowel sounds: ''a, e, i, [[Phonemic Status of O\|o]]'' and ''u''. In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipa International Phonetic Alphabet] they are written [a], [e], [i], [o], and [u]. It also has a reduced vowel, [ə] in IPA, called, [[Schwa\|'''schwa''']], that is not always written using the Listuguj orthography. When it is, it is written with an apostrophe.

	All of the full vowels may be lengthened. This is written in the Listuguj orthography by following the vowel with an apostrophe: ''a' '', ''e' '', ''i' '', ''o' '' and ''u' ''. In IPA this would be written [aː], [eː], [iː], [oː] and [uː]. It should be noted that a difference in length will cause a difference in meaning: see ''e'pit'', 'woman', and ''epit'', 'he or she is seated'.		All of the full vowels may be lengthened.

	The Mi'gmaq [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mi%27kmaq_hieroglyphic_writing hieroglyphic system] (or ''gomgwejwiga'sgl'', 'sucker-fish writings') is a writing system that was in use in the 17th to the early 20th centuries by the Mi'gmaq people, and still has some limited use. It was adapted by the missionary Chrétien le Clercq into a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logogram logographic] system for use in the liturgy, and expanded by the Mi'gmaq people to a general writing system - it was so popular that when le Clercq tried to teach the system to Mi'gmaq who had traveled long distances to visit his parish, they could already read the signs (Le Clercq 1990:130). The general system was one picture (or glyph) = one word, read from left to right. However, Mi'gmaq words change their form depending on the words around them (for example, verbs will change depending on who is doing the action, nouns will change if they are possessed or absent). The hieroglyphic system could account for some of this variation by adding [[Person and number\|person]] markers to the left edge of glyphs (the one exception to the general left-to-right reading rule, since person markers usually appear after the verb base in spoken Mi'gmaq), and by doubling noun glyphs to make them [[~~Plurals~~\|plural]]. It could also encode [[Preverbs\|preverbs]] by adding a separate glyph to the left edge of a verb. It was, however, unable to mark [[Tense\|tense]] or [[Obviation\|obviation]] (Schmidt 1993).
