cebuano-syllable-decoder's Issues

cannot properly decode words with - (dash)

Words with the letter "C" not decoding correctly

The most notable word is cebu

It doesn't encode properly as the letter c is not present in the consonant array.

Other examples:
chicharon
chada
chuya
chula

These words may be new but I think they are worth mentioning.
