... 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...

... This sounds like a reasonable possibility to me, since it would allow the schwa and would not greatly muck up spelling of Tjeqli "native" words nor adapted...
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,...
Quick question. How does everybody feel about an apostrophe-schwa, which will not be stressed? I think that's the deal with 'y' schwa in Loglan. I sort of...
... I think it seems workable. Can you write up a sentence or two that would have a typical mix of schwa's, so we can see how they would look in "real life"? ...

I think we all agree that the very useful particl "Be" is better as "b'". Others. I think ze > z', the pluralizing particle. So at this point we have b',...

Hello, everybody. I've been pondering, and have made some decisions. Now, I'll try to give the background of my reasoning throughout... Changes to the...
I should add that I figure we should disallow the 'y' sound after s and z anyway, as they tend to get confused with sh and zh sounds. So in setting sj and zj...
And... The existence of x for /D/ and c for /T/ opens up a lot of possibilities. First off, the 'the' words can all have the shape xV(V). Xy will be ...
My goodness! Why would you want to diverge from both the IPA as well as common international usage to the extreme of no longer being able to represent in...
