(s-measure). Here a, aa, ae, au, e, ee, ei, i, o, oa, oo, u are 12 vowels
and rest 23 are consonants. A diphthong has 2 vowels in succession. For
example, English (height) = Globish (h + aa + i + t = haait). Dictionary
listing will be based on sequence abcde...yz. Note that most symbols (such
as a, b, ch ) are already used for sounds indicated above. Vowels (e, i, o,
u) are short in duration, while (ei, ee, oa, oo) are long in duration of
breath. English (get, kin, no, pull, gate, keen, note, pool) = Globish (get,
kin, no, pul, geit, keen, noat, pool). Actually, I would love to remove
distinction between short duration and long duration vowels. For instance,
Globish (kin) would stand for both English (kin, keen). Proper meaning is to
be taken from context.

But the pronunciation of which vowels is left to context and which isn't?
Me, I would give each phoneme its own symbol.

And how does your orthography write syllabic consonants?

"I had to double-check the pronunciation of every word in my dictionary."

Every single word in the dictionary? Wow! You must have used some sort of
machine. ;))))))
