So it's the classical five vowel system, but, when you tried to associate the vowels to the vowels in English, it feels like speaking English with a Hispanic accent.
Nevermind, I just noticed you fixed it.
short /o/ doesn't occur in the usual varieties of English. I like to use yawn, and Italian Ombra in my own transcriptions IMO.

English is just complicated...
Yes; at least, our vowels are.

Sorry for the hijacking: there's an old saying from another board - 'sooner or later, all threads if they last long enough become English pronunciation discussions'...

I just wanted to point out that is is hard to comment on this sentence for anything but visual aesthetics, if you do not provide an explanation and/or glossing. Even a word-for-word translation would already help to acknowledge the beauty of your conlang.

So "io" is the past tense marker then?

This language seems to me more an IAL/creole than a normal language.
If you want it to be a creole (mixed and simplified language) or auxlang, it's OK. But if you want it to be realistic romance language, like Spanish & French, you have to invent regular sound changes from vulgar Latin and then apply them to Latin words and endings, modify grammar, semantic shifts, etc.

Can you explain how they work? I don't understand it, just from seeing the example.
