Merhaba!

Ithkuil is an insanely complex language - I've never seen anything like it! (Except,
perhaps, Rick Morneau's Latenkwa, which is much more digestable.) The phonology
is so complicated; could you transcribe the sounds as X-Sampa, rather than IPA?
(I can't read the IPA symbols, and downloading some font won't help because I'm
visually impaired and use a speech program which can only interpret Latin-1
characters properly.) But even so, I don't think I'd be able to pronounce the
language properly...

And a primer WOULD be nice, too... Rick Morneau is doing that with Latenkwa, BTW.
If you created a primer - and made it non-linguist-friendly, I think it would
become more learnable!
