→Pronunciation: I removed these from the mandatory exceptions list, as they are listed lower down in this very article as optional.

===Pronunciation===
Interlingua doesn't have a 'one letter one sound' orthography. As in English, several letters can be pronounced in different ways; depending on where they are in a word. For instance, the letter '''SC''' can be pronounced as either [sk] (statocanto) or [zts] (Chinesecento). Here is a list of other mandatory exceptions in pronunciation:

Line 38:
| always pronounced like [r]
| rhetorica, rheumatic
|-
|-
| s
| [s] <br/> [z]
| [s] if followed by a consonant <br/> [z] between vowels
| son, spa <br/> accusative, abstruse
|-
| sh
Line 69 ⟶ 63:
| [u:] when between two consonants or stressed before a vowel <br> [w] when unstressed and precedes a vowel
| luna, plural <br> persuade, superflue
|-
| x
| [ks] <br> [z] <br> [gz]
| usually [ks]<br> like [z] when word-initial <br> [gz] between two vowels
| affixo <br> xenon, xenophobia <br> exacto
