# The IPA chart from Omniglot appears to be mixing up [æ] and [ɑ] when
# explaining how to pronounce ‹a› and ‹å›. The language course on
# finochamoru.blogspot.com copies the pronunciation chart from Omniglot,
# but then explains that ‹å› gets prounounced like in English ‹father›,
# which would be [ɑ]. Also, the sound samples on www.chamorro.com pronounce
# ‹a› as [æ] and ‹å› as [ɑ].
