    Maybe instead of removing c, you write it as ç when it is pronounced like a s. Also, x isn't the only letter representing 2 sounds. J represents a d and an s (like in vision) merged together. Thats why it gets transcripted into Russian as дж. Like d zh. It's the same thing for ch. It represents tsh.
    Edit: also sometimes y represents ar and ee together like in my.

    You might take an inspiration from the Czech Alphabet (Abeceda) which has 42 letters instead of 26. Czech is a very phonetic language so all the texts we "write as we hear". Here are all the letters:
    A, Á, B, C, Č, D, Ď, E, É, Ě, F, G, H, Ch, I, Í, J, K, L, M, N, Ň, O, Ó, P, Q, R, Ř, S, Š, T, Ť, U, Ú, Ů, V, W, X, Y, Ý, Z, Ž.
    As someone already mentioned here in the discussion English coul borrow following letters from the Czech Alphabet:
    CH = Č - chair - čér
    SH = Š - shoe - šů
    G, J = Ž - garage - garáž, Gill - Žil, January - Žeňuery
    T - Ť = tune - ťůn
    etc.

  • @uwuzote
    @uwuzote 4 місяці тому +1

    The worst part of english spelling is the vowels. 5 (6 with Y) letters to represent like 20
    But the sad truth is: everybody speaks differently, especially vowels, so vowel-to-letter correspondence would lead to inconsistent spelling
    Like, X or C really is not a burden, the vowels and inconsistent spelling are
    Also, doing spelling reform, even if possible, is really, really hard. Even if USA will say "now write this" many countries won't, or would apply new rules inconsistently. New generations would still need to learn old spelling in order to access literature and basically everything

  • @Friday.S
    @Friday.S 11 місяців тому +1

    You could derive a few sounds by palatalisation symbolized with a caron (upside down circumflex) or acute over top the non-palatal counterpart:
    ch = t’, j = d’, sh = ś, s in "measure" = z’, hy = h’ (so hue might become h’ou)
    That way, at least some similar looking letters will also sound similar, making the system more intuitive.
    (Under ideal circumstances these would all be arranged as nicely as the ś)

    Not to get totally off topic, but I remember in high school Spanish, we were taught that the alphabet included CH (che) as well as LL (elle). Are these not actually treated as separate letters of the Spanish alphabet? Were we taught wrong or did it change? High school was over 20 years ago…so I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if something changed.

    The reason why we have the letter x, for ks, and no pl, wh or pl, is because of alphabet evolution. Greek people had the letter Ksi, and our alphabet is derived from the Latin alphabet. And Latin borrowed words from Greek. Some of which had the letter ksi. So the letter was added. And there’s the answer.

    I'd repurpose J for the J in fjord and hallelujah, and remove Y altogether

    I for one think that English should also bring back Þ for the /th/ in "thin" and ð for the /th/ in "the".

      I like the fact that you propose that the «c» sounds like /k/ before «e, i» as well as before «a, o, u», which reminds me of classical Latin in which its use is indeed like this (for example, «centum» [ˈkɛn̪.t̪ʊm̚]), until the palatalization towards that velar sound [k] (which is easily affected) changed to the sound [t̠͡ʃ] and later to other variants in the different languages; until [θ̟] after a long process in Spanish (although in my variant of Spanish it is spoken seseo, so it is simply [s̪]).

      In my dialect of Spanish (Argentine from Buenos Aires) we actually pronounce the «y» (and the «ll») as «sh», so effectively, that's right.
      Other areas, however, pronounce that «sh» as «zh» [ʒ], ha, ha.

    I'm brasilian and our pronounces of the alphabet in portuguese is much more direct than english.
    Exemples:
    Farmácia (= pharmacy | our 'ph' was abolished a long time ago)
    Xerife (= sheriff | our 'x' sounds mainly like your 'sh')
    Our 'j' sounds like your but without a sound 'd' together (search Joana in both)
    Our "a" sounds ever "a" like in "car" (but 'ã' become a nasal 'a')
    Our "i" souns ever "i" like in "idiot".
    We dont double 'n' or put 'mn', like 'innocent' (= inocente) and 'omniscient' (= onisciente).
    And etc...

    My only issue would be the contradiction between the "Ñ" being okay (when it can be used as a digraph like with gn in italian iirc, or ny like in in the google pronunciation you showed, or like in nn, as it was originally and how the ñ was birthed, after all they are are actualyl two n's on top of each other)
