Sound a bit like Ingli, a yet unpublished English reform of English that
I'm working on.  It combines spelling reform with pronunciation reform
based on a somewhat reduced phonemic inventory.

Most notable are:

	/D/ and /T/ become /d/ and /t/.
	/tS/ and /dZ/ become /S/ and /Z/.
	Vowels are pronounces as spelled / a e i o u /.

	<J> = /Z/
	<CH> and <SH> -> <X> = /S/
	Vocalic <y> -> <i> = /i/

The end result will be something that comes out a bit like an
English-based pidgin.
