It has many letters with sounds not familiar to English speakers.
"ch" represents the back guteral that sometimes people will pronounce as an "h".
long vowels are represented by doubling of the vowel as in aa, ii, oo
@ represents a gutteral sound that is often reduced to an "a" sound as in @aza = aza or gaza
