Let's create a language!
Re: Let's create a language!
STOP! Neither of you are listening to each other. If you two continue to show this kind of behaviour, we won't reach any consensus.
Settled in stone are below:
e = /ɛ/
a = /ɐ/
i = /ɪ/
c = /t̠ʃ/
ch = /x/
d = /d/
English don't have zh anyway, so I don't see why do we need it.
--
Oh, I know what is the letter C argument about. BokaBB can't type t̠ʃ with his device so he used ts for substitution. Problem solved!
I purpose repeating a letter to indicate "natural sound", i. e. aa -> /a/, ee -> /e/. But let's worry about that later.

Re: Let's create a language!
My apologies but I couldn't resist from noticing this:
What the heck is "natural sound"? If we are not going to make a distinction between /ɐ/ and /a/, or /ɛ/ and /e/, there is no need to have a way to write them.
Anyway I will not contribute to this language if it stays like this. To sort things out here's another link to the document
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... FW1zm/edit
I've added the phonemes and romanizations that Hunting claims have been "set in stone" above. I've made it editable by anyone with the link.
??So what? English doesn't have a bunch of things that many, many, many other languages do. Some languages have tones, English does not. English does not have the alveolar trill as a phoneme, while many languages do. And I am assuming by "zh" you mean the sound /ʒ/? English (In most dialects anyway,) does have that sound, a common example is in "vision", which many people pronounce [ˈvɪʒən].

Re: Let's create a language!
Yes, we shouldn't limit our language based on other existing languages. Maybe natural sound means longer sound?Saka wrote: ↑October 22nd, 2020, 3:51 amMy apologies but I couldn't resist from noticing this:??So what?

Re: Let's create a language!
Why are we not going to make a distinction between /ɐ/ and /a/, or /ɛ/ and /e/? The two pairs are very different sounds. If you don't agree with my idea, explain your reasoning, but don't be rude and don't threaten others. Letter A is pronounced /ɐ/ as of now (same for letter E), but BokaBB wants an /a/ sound (because it is "more natural" - same for E), so this is a solution of that problem. So didn't you get what's "natural sound" from my two examples?

Re: Let's create a language!
Natural is subjective - I think should stop using the term. Also MathAndCode said we could use diacritics instead of diagraphs. I think that sounds reasonable.Hunting wrote: ↑October 22nd, 2020, 4:22 amWhy are we not going to make a distinction between /ɐ/ and /a/, or /ɛ/ and /e/?

Switching now to diacritics is too late IMO - we've been working on this language assuming its a Latin letters language. (Creating a dialect later with diacritics is also possible)

The two pairs are objectively different sounds. About digraphs, you do have a point.

We will not progress unless we settle on something. A is /a/,e /e/ and i /i/. Ae is rotated a. I won't allow the language to be without /a/. A is the most logical orthography. I can allow digraphs for other sounds,but I want the basic ones to be like this.
