... I guess so. I appreciate the rigor of the loglan approach, but I have a hard time mentally working with the x1 blah blah x2 blah x3 format. I guess I would...
Let's baseline: The alphabet at http://users.blackhole.com/users/alexbrowne/c/grammar/alphabet.html is baselined, except: I and U never form diphthongs. You...

... I'm fine with the alphabet. You're saying that there are no diphthongs using the five vowels, right? Sounds good. Are we voting on stress yet? I thought...
... I actually much preferred "kwaj", so y can be used as the schwa. I won't keep pushing for Loglanization, since it appears that most people don't want that....
... I'd actually forgotten that. Let me think about it. ... My ideal would be to have Ceqli with basic Mandarin/English grammar, but Loglanizable when needed....
... I like j as [dZ] or [Z] and y as [j] (I hope that's the correct ascii ipa), but a schwa would be preferable (I think?), so something has to be done. ...

... Azeri looks terrific. The basic problem is that 26 letters aren't enough. Especially, the five vowels aren't enough. One way to get a schwa would be to...
Why don't you use [&] or [@] for the schwa, or alternatively use [`] or [~] or one of the numbers (just as [h3r] is used in IPA for 'her"). Those letters are...

Yes indeed, it looks attractive and consistent to me. I like it. Of course, now we have "tjeqli," and I'd spell my names with DJ and SJ, and that is fine. I...
... Ugh. For me, this is just too radical. If you really need this sound, and want to use a consonant, I would vote for 'x', because it's kind of like saying...
Actually, I'm with you on all of this. Dictatorial fiat: The 26 Roman letters, no schwa, the five usual vowels, C as in CHurCH X as in SHoe J as in Joe or...
... Yes. You list J twice. The second one (after W) should be Y. Aren't we back almost exactly where Ceqli was when we started this list? :-) Right after that,...
