Re: Non-Alphabetic English

phew .... since english has a rather complicated syllable structure,
this would be pretty complex, i suppose, but worth an attempt.

i once did a writing script for french based on syllables (and a
conlang which should have a chinese grammar [therefore syllables] and
sound like french), the symbol for each syllable consisting of its
phonetic parts (-> not really based on syllables), so that je t'aime
would be

Z@ tEm (though i'm not sure about the ipa transcription)
each of them being written as one symbol

french syllables can only consist of a consonant (plus l or r
possible in some cases and some exceptions), a vowel and another
consonant. i'd estimate the total number of possible syllables in
french language being about 5000 (that's already much). english
permits very complex consonant clusters, so there's many more
possible syllables.
