Me and my brother had this idea after we got some recent version of MS
Word that came with one of those big multilingual fonts. We collected
all the different versions of "A", and created approximate tone
equivalents for each diacritic. There were around 25 different tones,
and we called the language "MariahCareyan Code" because the famous singer
with a 12-octave range (if i remember correctly) is the only person who
would be able to pronounce it correctly. :-)
