| + | ====== English-7 ====== | ||
| + | This is a set of alternate ' | ||
| + | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
| + | A long time ago, I had started working on a personal project. The project' | ||
| + | However, I had created an alternative spelling system during this project. It was intended to be more phonetic and regular. Interestingly, | ||
| + | The project was called ' | ||
| + | ===== Consonants & Vowels ===== | ||
| + | These are the tables for the consonants and vowels in the English language, represented using the IPA. While I //think// it is accurate, I can't be sure.\\ | ||
| + | The following sections explain the use of particular letters in more detail. | ||
| + | ^ Consonants | ||
| + | ^ nasal | ||
| + | ^ plosive/ | ||
| + | ^ ::: | ||
| + | ^ fricative | ||
| + | ^ ::: | ||
| + | ^ approximant | ||
| + | ^ rhotic | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^ Vowels ^ non-back ^^ back ^^ | ||
| + | ^ ::: ^ | ||
| + | ^ close | í /i:/ | ||
| + | ^ mid | | è /ə/ | | | | ||
| + | ^ open-mid | é /ɜː/ | e /ɛ/ | ó /ɔː/ | ù /ʌ/ | | ||
| + | ^ open | | a /æ/ | á /ɑː/ | o /ɒ/ | | ||
| + | ===== Orthographic Rules ===== | ||
| + | Here things get a bit complicated, | ||
| + | The reasons behind creating multiple systems will become more clear. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Pure/ | ||
| + | This is a purely phonemic system.\\ | ||
| + | I've forgotten why I originally created it, but it eventually settled into a way to write words out phonetically, | ||
| + | The other system(s) rely on this one, and I use it as a kind of ' | ||
| + | === Additional Rules === | ||
| + | <WRAP group> | ||
| + | <WRAP half column> | ||
| + | * Vowels | ||
| + | * The Schwa (ə) is represented using an e with a grave (◌̀). | ||
| + | * The /ʌ/ is represented using a u with a grave (◌̀). | ||
| + | * Long vowels are written with the acute (◌́). | ||
| + | * á (aa); í (ii); ú (uu); é (ee); ó (oo) | ||
| + | * The diphthongs in English are represented in one of two ways: | ||
| + | - Any diphthong that contains a /ɪ/ is represented as the preceding letter with a diaeresis (◌̈). | ||
| + | * ë (ei); ö (oi); ä (ai) | ||
| + | - Any diphthong that contains a /ʊ/ is represented as the preceding letter with an overdot (◌̇). | ||
| + | * ȧ (au); ȯ (ou) | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | <WRAP half column> | ||
| + | * Consonants | ||
| + | * Digraphs | ||
| + | * /tʃ/ is represented with Ch ch. | ||
| + | * /θ/ is represented with Th th. | ||
| + | * /ð/ is represented with Dh dh. | ||
| + | * /ʒ/ is represented with Zh zh. | ||
| + | * The /ŋ/ sound has the following rules: | ||
| + | - If the following letter is a //k// or //g// it is represented with the letter n. | ||
| + | - In all other cases, it is represented with Ŋ ŋ | ||
| + | * If the preceding letter is a consonant, the palatal approximant (/j/) is represented with a dotless j (ȷ). | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | === Misc Notes === | ||
| + | I variously made use of a few alternate letters, especially for the digraphs. However, the letters I tried using didn't look all that great.\\ | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | ==== Regular (R) ==== | ||
| + | This was initially 2 separate systems that I ended up merging. This was because both ended up having the same result most of the time.\\ | ||
| + | The Regular system is more complex than the **P/A**, this is mostly for æsthetic reasons. \\ | ||
| + | As far as I can tell, the system is usable but still incomplete. ' | ||
| + | === Additional Rules === | ||
| + | Unless a rule here directly contradicts a previously established rule, you should assume that the rules of **P/A** apply. | ||
| + | <WRAP group> | ||
| + | <WRAP half column> | ||
| + | * Individual Letters | ||
| + | * If a long vowel ends a word, the diacritic is removed and the letter -h is added. | ||
| + | * /ɪ/ is represented with a y if it's at the end of a word. However, diphthongs have a few extras: | ||
| + | * The ä (ai) is represented with ÿ (ai). | ||
| + | * The ë (ei) is represented with ey at the end of a word. | ||
| + | * The /ə/ is represented with a è. When the letter is on its own it's represented with a a. | ||
| + | * The /k/ has two special rules: | ||
| + | - Represented with c when at the start of a word. | ||
| + | - Represented with q when at the end of a word. | ||
| + | * /ks/ and /gz/ are represented with x. | ||
| + | * /ŋ/ is represented with ng when at the end of a word. | ||
| + | * The ï is a variant of ä. Use of it is generally optional. | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | <WRAP half column> | ||
| + | * Multiple Letters | ||
| + | * /er/ is represented with -re, but only when at the end of a word. | ||
| + | * /èr/ is represented with -rè. | ||
| + | * /ju:/ is represented with eu-, but only when the word is related to Europe. | ||
| + | * I'm changing my mind on this. I think that eu- should always be read as /ju:/ now. | ||
| + | * /kʃ/ is represented with ct when in the middle of a word. | ||
| + | * /kw/ is represented with qu-. | ||
| + | * /ʃ/ can be represented with sc when in the middle of a word, unless there' | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | === Misc Notes === | ||
| + | ==== Extraneous (E) ==== | ||
| + | This //might// be the last system. It is even less complete than **R**. This one is meant to resemble English as closely as possible, while still being somewhat ' | ||
| + | The rules are effectively the same as **R**, but additional rules are added to remove diacritics and stuff for æsthetics.\\ | ||
| + | As it's incomplete, I don't believe it can actually be comfortably used. | ||
| + | <WRAP group> | ||
| + | <WRAP half column> | ||
| + | * Individual Letters | ||
| + | * Long Vowels: | ||
| + | * When at the start or middle of a word: | ||
| + | * á - ah | ||
| + | * í - ie | ||
| + | * ú - oo | ||
| + | * é - ee | ||
| + | * ó - au | ||
| + | * When at the end of a word or on its own: | ||
| + | * Every one ends with a h. ah; ih; uh; eh; oh; | ||
| + | * Diphthongs: | ||
| + | * When in the middle of a word: | ||
| + | * ï - ai | ||
| + | * When following a Qu: i. | ||
| + | * When the following letter is a t, it is represented as ite. | ||
| + | * When the following letter is a k, it is represented as ike. | ||
| + | * ë - ei | ||
| + | * When the following letter is a t, it is represented as ate. | ||
| + | * When the following letter is a k, it is represented as ake. | ||
| + | * ö - oi | ||
| + | * ȧ - ao | ||
| + | * ȯ - oa | ||
| + | * When at the end of a word or on its own: | ||
| + | * ï - I | ||

| + | * Multiple Letters | ||
| + | * Being worked on... | ||

| + | ===== Trivia ===== | ||
| + | * It should be kept in mind that I'm not a professional linguist. Most of my knowledge comes from a combination of disconnected sources. | ||
