And those annoying silent letters in debt, doubt, island, aisle, sword,
etc.

To me they are pronounced
det, dowt, i'lund, i'ul, sohrd.

I do know that in many of the dictionaries there is a "Standard" of how
English is pronounced. All I think would be needed would to to
standardize many of the odder exceptions, and simplify. Such as all F
sounds to be spelled F. But on to Conlangs..

Anyone have dielects in their Conlang?
