Better English

Better English. The orthography uses the letters A-Z, which all hold their values in IPA except for the following:

Letter IPA
c /ʃ/
j /ʒ/
q* /ʔ/
y /j/

While /ʔ/ is currently only used paralinguistically (eg. qoqoo) and in loanwords (eg. huumuuhuumuunuukuunuukuuaapuuaaqaa), at least in my dialect, I think it will eventually become distinguished from /t/. Perhaps, then, I am using it as a precautionary measure. Anyways, there are also two diphthongs:

Pair IPA
dh /ð/
th /θ/

And the vowels:

Letter Default Doubled Vr Vl Vng Word-final
a /æ/ /ɑ/ /æ/ /ɑ/
e /ɛ/ /e/ /ɛ/ /e/
i /ɪ/ /i/ /ɪ/ /i/
o /ʌ/ /o/ /ʌ/ /o/
u /ə ʊ/ /u/ /ə/

Since some vowels never occur with certain consonants, I've just simplified those pairs. One last thing to note is that, and this is only paralinguistic, nh causes mandatory nasalization of the prior vowel.

Punctuation

Commas, colons, semicolons, quotation marks, question marks, exclamation marks, hashes, etc., etc. work identically to English. Hyphens are only used in compounds where it would create an inadvertent dh or th, eg. hed-hoom, Or it would change the quality of a vowel, eg. no-wer The only major difference anywhere is apostrophes. Clitics are expressed expressed with apostrophes, with the apostrophe taking the place of the elided vowel, eg. dh'urth's, which contains two clitics. In words like don't no apostrophe is used since there is no clitic.
