Why build your own Yoruba alphabet deck

Learning the 25 letters of the standard Yoruba alphabet is easier when each letter has its own card, and Yoruba alphabet flashcards built from your course material keep the set matched to what your teacher actually covers.

  • Cards built from PDFs, slides, notes and photos of pages
  • Spaced repetition that brings back letters you forget
  • Quizzes with explanations to check tone and spelling
  • Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan
Example Yoruba alphabet flashcards
How many letters are in the standard Yoruba alphabet?25, including the dotted vowels ẹ and ọ, the letter ṣ and the letter gb.
Which Yoruba letter sounds like English 'sh'?Ṣ, the s with a dot below it, as in ṣe, meaning 'to do'.
What does the letter gb sound like in Yoruba?A single sound made by closing the lips and raising the back of the tongue together, as in gbà, meaning 'to receive'.
What do the dots under ẹ and ọ mark?They mark different open vowels from e and o, so ẹ and ọ are separate letters in the alphabet.
What are the three Yoruba tone levels?High (á), mid (a) and low (à), and the tone can change the meaning of a word with the same letters.

Cards from your material

Upload a handout, slide deck or photo of a page, and the text is read and turned into flashcards.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so the 25 letters and their sounds get reviewed at the right intervals.

Quizzes and mind maps

Test yourself with multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions, or map how the letters group together.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or an image of your Yoruba alphabet handout.

Review the generated cards

Check the letters, dotted vowels and tone marks, and edit any card that needs correcting.

Study with spaced repetition

Review in the browser each day so the letters move from recognition to recall.

The alphabet includes letters that English speakers don't use, such as ẹ, ọ, ṣ and gb. Separate cards for each one, with a sample word on the back, help you tell them apart from e, o, s and the letter pairs they resemble.

Tone marks add another layer. High (á), mid (a) and low (à) can change a word's meaning, so keeping tone examples in the same deck lets spaced review catch the ones you mix up.

Frequently asked questions

How many letters should I memorize in the Yoruba alphabet?

The standard alphabet has 25 letters, including ẹ, ọ, ṣ and gb, which are separate letters rather than variants. Start with the vowels and the dotted letters, since learners often mix them up.

How do I practice Yoruba tone marks with flashcards?

Put the marked word on the front and its meaning or a pronunciation note on the back, and keep tone examples in the same deck so they come up in spaced review.

Does DeckOwl work on a free plan?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV requires the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month.

Can I make flashcards from a photo of my Yoruba handout?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so a handout can become cards. Check the cards afterward, since recognition can miss diacritics such as ẹ and ṣ.
