Have to admit, it still looks alien
Thanks for the suggestions. Vowel characters for consonants is definately alien.Ambrisio wrote:Or even better:

Is that a bad thing? Sometimes when I get phonology ideas I just write it down and save it for later (even though I probably won't end up using it).shimobaatar wrote:In light of recent posts in this thread, I have to say that I think Dezinaa's original orthography worked fine. Just my opinion.
Ahh, now I'm tempted to draw up an inventory somewhat like this (probably something a little more terrestrial but still with a higher number of non-pulmonic consonants than pulmonic consonants… and maybe voiceless vowels too).Dezinaa wrote:/pʼ tʼ kʼ qʼ/ <p t k q>

A simple little thing I came up with. It looks familiar...
I might remove the voiced fricatives.
/m n ɲ ŋ/ <m n ny ng>
/p t t͡ʃ k ʔ/ <p t c k q>
/b d d͡ʒ g/ <b d j g>
