That's funny, I've always said that French should have a phonetic script...
but I've even never worked on the idea! ;-)
My first reform would be to clean up the accents. There are some useless
random circumflex accents that I'd like to wipe out. Some "é" and "è" should
be changed to reflect the current pronounciation. The vowels should have a
persistent orthography; the digraphs and trigraphs should be forgotten when
possible. A new vowel for [O] should be introduced. The double consonants
should also be removed.
Le nouvo Françès devrèt ressambler à qèlqe choze còme ça.
Un chyun, une chiène, le chat, la chate, un cheval, dès chevos...
Apèle-moa ! Il fot m'apeler.
Je pe, tu pes, il pet, nous pouvons, vous pouvéz, ils peuvet.
Il plet, il plet, bèrjère,
Rantre tès blans moutons...
Ça va ètre la révolussion ! ;-)
Finally, I have ideas... but there is so much conlang in my head that
there's no place for natlang. ;-)
see ya,
