The word "Betso" is spelled with the consonants /b/, /ɛ/, /t/, /s/, and /o/. The initial sound /b/ is produced by pressing the lips together and then releasing them. The vowel sound /ɛ/ is pronounced by opening the mouth and positioning the tongue near the front of the mouth. The consonant /t/ is created by briefly stopping airflow with the tongue or teeth. The consonant /s/ is produced by pushing air through a narrow gap between the tongue and the upper teeth. The final vowel sound /o/ is formed by rounding the lips while making a slightly open, back-of-the-mouth sound.
