| == Carrie and Shawn discussion, 20 March ==
| |
|
| |
| Points:
| |
|
| |
| # Eliminate the sound û, replacing it in the negative prefix with ã.
| |
| # Eliminate the sound î, replacing it with å or i per root.
| |
| # Respell ê with ä in all places.
| |
| # Eliminate ô, respelling as o. Native English speakers are going to diphthong long Os whether we like it or not.
| |
| # We now have this list of weird ones:
| |
| #* ã
| |
| #* ä
| |
| #* å
| |
| #* æ
| |
| #* ø
| |
| #* õ
| |
| #* ö
| |
| #* ü
| |
| # Now, ä and ü match their German counterparts. Tri ø matches German ö; Tri ö is the only u-diphthong on this list, so let's swap the glyphs ø and ö, so now all three of ä ö ü match the German ones, and ø (the only slashed letter) is unique as the only u-diphthong.
| |
| # These remain:
| |
| #* ã
| |
| #* å
| |
| #* æ
| |
| #* ø (in case we come up with some other way to write it)
| |
| #* õ
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| # Ways to spell the /æ/ sound, as in "cat" or "hat" in languages using Latin letters: Most commonly by far are < a >, < ae > or < æ >, or < ä >.
| |
| # The reasonable options for that sound, given that < ä > is used already, are: ring (å), breve (ă), circumflex (â), or aesch (æ).
| |
| # A-ring has the virtue of being the only letter in European languages which uses the ring diacritic, and so it's kinda unique; furthermore, it has Triparik historic warrant. So let's keep it for now.
| |
| # These remain:
| |
| #* ã
| |
| #* æ
| |
| #* ø (in case we come up with some other way to write it)
| |
| #* õ
| |
| # If we like the three umlaut vowels because German, why wouldn't we like æ because Latin? Then these remain:
| |
| #* ã
| |
| #* ø (in case we come up with some other way to write it)
| |
| #* õ
| |
| # Now for the /au/ diphthong, we consider the breve because it looks like a little "u", and then between "ă" because it's -au- in both German and Latin, or "ŏ" because this is closer to As She Is Writ, and based on some testing Carrie likes ă better and although Shawn likes historical warrant he doesn't feel too strongly on this particular one, so we lean towards saying /au/ is written "ă".
| |
| # That leaves:
| |
| #* ã (hUt, cUt) (as in tãng)
| |
| #* õ (oi) (as in jõnt)
| |
| # Screw it, ø is a historical Triparik letter, and the slash even looks kinda like an I or part of a Y. So: drøt, jønt, driføl, etc. But, ô is also an original letter, and maybe the Prince of Grønbjerg hates being confused with Groinbyerg, so we can also accept jônt, drifôl, etc. We should run this by Alan.
| |
| # And since we decided hacek is palatal and Enye is now ň, we can keep the ã.
| |
|
| |
| '''Alan must help decide:''' ă or ŏ for /au/, and ø or ô for /oi/.
