What is Schlitz besides 7 letters long?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I actually met Mr. Schlitz at a posh event my grandfather took me to in Wisconsin. I really wanted to say, "Hi, your beer sucks!" but instead opted for, "Please to meet you sir."

A, I, and U are not in fact vowels. They are dipthongs. (At least according to linguists.)

Also, B and P are the same letters, as are these following pairs:

D and T

V and F

G and K

Kh and H

J and Ch

Z and S

The first one is voiced whereas the second is unvoiced. By that I mean that mouth and tounge placement is identical for each letter in the pairing. The only difference is whether the resonance comes from the throat (voiced) or mouth (unvoiced).
