It is, innit? :) Lately it's become a very popular way of
writing English among my friends. I don't know if I should
be proud or sad as the originator. :P

Yes, that's a problem. As you can see, all the voiced
phonemes in English are unvoiced in Swenglish. "As" is
<äs>, "is" is <iss>, "measure" is most likely <mäsjör>.

Otoh, "languages" is <längwidjis> and "John" is <Djonn>.

Culprit: my whim.

I'm sure one could make this scheme more coherent, but
frankly I couldn't care less. It's all just for fun, and
so long as people understand it, it's okay.
