Annotation: 
    The caret (^) generally denotes a long sound. 
    ā sounds like 'aa', a long 'a'
    ū sounds like 'oo' in the english 'Doom'
    ī sounds like 'ee' in the english 'Beer' or the first 'e' in 'Here'
    (these three are obviously missing in the english language and are
    represented through 'aa', 'oo' and 'ee' respectively. They're still 
    present somehow in german, and were widely used in medieval german,
    for example 'Mūr' in medieval and 'Mauer' in modern german. That's 
    'Wall' in english. Oh yeah, Tolkien uses them too (Barad Dūr)..).

    ch sounds like, well, like 'ch' in the scotish 'Loch' sometimes
       written as 'kh'
    gh is a guttural sound, something between k and g.
    sh is the english 'sh', the german 'sch'
    z might be a hard 's'.
