I've decided to go with a mixture of the two systems, with some additions of my own Do please indicate what you all think. stops: /p/ p /b/ b /t/ t /d/ d /k/ k /g/ g /q/ q nasals: /m/ m /n/ n /N/ ng fricatives: /P/ f /B/ w /T/ þ (thorn) /D/ ð (edh) /s/ s /s_m/ ß (esszat) /z/ s /z_m/ ß (esszat) /C/ ch /j\/ jh /x/ ch /X/ qh laterals: /l/ l /L/ ll approximates: /j/ j rhotic: /rR\/ r affricates: /tT/ tþ (t-thorn) /dD/ tð (t-edh) /ts/ z /dz/ ds /tC/ tch /dj\/ djh /kx/ kch /qX/ qq "whistleized": /s_m_W/ ßü (esszat-u-diaeresis) /z_m_W/ ßü (esszat-u-diaeresis) /C_W/ chü (ch-u-diaeresis) /j\_W/ jhü (jh-u-diaeresis) /x_W/ chü (ch-u-diaeresis) /t_W/ tü (t-u-diaeresis) /d_W/ dü (d-u-diaeresis) /k_W/ kü (k-u-diaeresis) /g_W/ gü (g-u-diaeresis) vowels: /i/ ie /I/ i /e/ e /@/ ë (e-diaeresis) /&/ ä (a-diaeresis) /u/ u /O/ o /A/ a I am also thinking of either introducing a length distinction or dipthongs. Which would you all recommend, upon seeing the orthography and phonology? ===== -The Sock "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
