Languary Day "4": Orthography

[aldersprig]

yay!
Okay, this is probably how I will write these in the Roman alphabet.

Consonants:
b, t, d, ph (ɸ), f, th, ss*, sh, h, pf, ch(/x/), [still-not-sure-I-have-a-J], r, l, m, n

* I could totally do this as "s" but I like the visual susurration of the double s.
** This is a very fricative language. I felt like it.

That was easy.

Vowels

uh	u
oe(oo)	o
ah(ae)	a
eh	e
ee	ea
ih	i

Alphabet.... I'm still considering style, much less actual letters. And numbers. Since it's a real-world system, they may use arabic numbers.

......are you aware that this is almost identical to my alphabet? XD (I don't think you "stole" it, but I do think it is a hilarious coincidence.)

[aldersprig]

Nnnno that's kinda weird.

[inventrix]

It's to be expected, I suppose, when we both went "I want lots of fricatives" for our language... xD (although mine was mostly "I want it to flow smoothly")

[aldersprig]

Heh, yes. It'll be interesting to see how different they turn out.

[inventrix]

Probably significantly! Your syllable rules are quite different from mine, which I also realized in retrospect are misleading because I forgot temporarily what a syllable is but that's okay I know what I meant.

[aldersprig]

*blinks*?

[inventrix]

If I'm not using diphthongs then two vowels means two syllables so it's not actually CVVC it's CVC with CV and VC much more common than CVC

[aldersprig]

Ooh! Gotcha.

[inventrix]

That reminds me, what's the difference between fi and f?

[aldersprig]

!!

ɸ is neat.

(and "fi" was the closest I could guess at without having sideways empty sets everywhere in my writing)

It's it's a Voiceless bilabial fricative Which I almost know what means and you push air out without using your teeth. Sort of like blowing on your listeners, I think.

Oooohhhhh! Okay, got it, thanks~
