Yes, I'm sorry, I dont know X-SAMPA at all, so it is difficult for me
to explain sounds. It is a voiceless palatal stop.

Wow, you got it perfectly right! My goal was to have the smallest amount
of sounds, and no real odd sounds.

Aww crap. I really liked the o with a slash too. I could use a different
symbol in the external alphabet, and still use the o with slash in the
internal right?

Damn it, for got all about that. Hmm
now I must think of a sound to go
with that

Example
hmm, I shall think of some tonight! Thank you very much for
taking the time to read my very small grammar :)
