More realistically anyone who speaks English could, with the use of the guide to pronunciation linked to, work it all out in about ten seconds, with perhaps a little bit of uncertainty about some of the vowels.Grunnen wrote:Just like it would be painstaking work for us to try and figure out what you mean with the letters you posted.
It may be a controversial opinion on a board that perhaps spends more time critiquing rudimentary phonologies than anything else, but I'd say that in reality the exact values of sounds is one of the least important aspects of a conlang. The beginner has to give us enough information to prove that his/her phoneme inventory is reasonably balanced (and perhaps not too English-like in its distribution of phonemes*) - things like specific values of sounds, allophony etc. etc. are very easily changed at a later date with next-to-no impact on any other part of the conlang and to be honest there's no real need for a first-timer to dwell too long and hard on them straightaway.
* - An English-like distribution of phonemes is perhaps the main criticism I'd have of this language. In particular: large fricative inventories like the one given here are very typical of the languages of north-western Europe and not found too often anywhere else. This isn't necessarily bad, but it's the sort of thing that could come back to haunt you in future. I speak from experience - my main language Viksen, which I've been working on for a decade or so now, has a similar set of fricatives, and the fact that's it a bit too Englishy has been bothering me increasingly recently, but unfortunately the language has reached the stage of advancement where changing it is going to take a lot of work.
