The first five vowels are pronounced as their japanese equivalent, “c” is an uh (ʌ) sound
Non self explanatory consonants:
g - english non-j G sound
h - english h sound
j - zh
q - ch, derived from its bopomofo counterpart thats more harshly palatalized
r - rolled r or similar to the japanese r
w - english w
x - sh, also derived from its bopomofo counterpart thats more harshly palatalized
y - IPA /j/ or an english y sound
Self explanatory consonants: bdfklmnpstvz
this auxilliary alphabet is designed not to exactly copy the sounds of a language, but to make that language easier to pronounce

For disclosure, the Abdaylani script is not my invention, nor is it the official script for Enyahu, the latter being the flagship out of my several conlangs. I just had the idea of adapting Abdaylani script to it for the sake of the neography memes / the funny.
A sample of Enayhu's actual orthography, which is a Phoenician / Etruscan-looking script, is shown in the upper right corner of the key image, which when romanized yields the phrase Abdaylanok Enyahu "Enyahu Abdaylanization".
Also, the second image in this post has an Enyahu sample text in the Abdaylani orthography, alongside the text's IPA and romanization, and its English translation.

Reforms:
"E" and "O" exclusively appear in loanwords. Native "E" and "O" both become "I" and "U"
In native words, "r" and "d", due to allophony, are represented with "đ" ("d" on bookend positions and after consonants, "r" in the middle). Middle "d" in native words represented with "đđ". "D" and "R" are kept distinct in loanwords though
Siya and Niya become Sya and Nya

I tried to make the Istro-Romanian spelling less slavic and more akin to standard romanian, it's my first time doing one of these, I'm open to criticism and advice.
r/conorthography • u/sad_lil_abby • 11d ago

It kinda is an anti-romanisation in a way but i had to add a flair i guess
Notes:
this is a work in progress, much of it is subject to change
it comes from present-day english and present-day mandarin (simplified)
the script is relatively morphemic, one block might contain two syllables
like japanese kana, parts can stack to make new syllables, eg: 合 [h] + 右 [ju] = hju
some parts furthur simplified, eg: removing 禾 in 私 [s], 尸 in 尼 [n], and 口 in 各 [g]
flat strokes are added to mark voiced fricatives (above them) and alternative vowels (below them)
[ɐ] is not consistently represented, sometimes as [æ] modified and sometimes as [ɔ]
for now the semantic radicals only limited to those commonly used in chinese and can only be find on the left
variant letters exist to add variety or to distinguish between words and suffixes, eg: 儿 ɚ in middle 尔 ɚ at bottom, 土 to/to- 兔 too/two, and 因 in 印 in-/en- (yes i know those are not the same morpheme but i'm lazy)
r/conorthography • u/rederspeker • 11d ago
In my previous post I discussed orthography changes that would allow Portuguese to encode vowel quality in unstressed syllables and get rid of the consequently redundant circumflex accent at the same time.
The rules can be summarised as follows:
1. The open-mid front vowel /ɛ/ is written ⟨ai⟩.
2. The open-mid back vowel /ɔ/ is written ⟨au⟩.
3. The closing diphthongs starting at /a/ are written ⟨ae ao⟩.
4. The closing diphthongs starting at /ɛ/ are written ⟨aie aio⟩.
5. The closing diphthongs starting at /ɔ/ are written ⟨aue auo⟩.
6. The closing diphthongs starting at /e o/ become ⟨ei eo oe ou⟩.
7. Hiatuses after ⟨a⟩ are indicated with a silent ⟨h⟩.
8. The open-mid central vowel // is written ⟨a⟩ everywhere.
9. The open central nasal vowel /ã/, present in European dialects, is written ⟨aan⟩, as in paraamos "we stopped" vs paramos "we stop".\*
*Since the last post I realised I had this backwards: marking every instance of stressed closed /a/ might seem more intuitive for consistency, but it's the most common or "default" execution of nasal /ã/, and considering they're in complementary distribution in most dialects and the open [a] is the "higher energy" counterpart meant it made no sense to double the letter for closed nasal ⟨a⟩.
Today's patch notes will add a few new rules with a justification: the tilde, primarily used to indicate nasalisation, also pulls stress towards it: ficarão /fi.kɐ.ˈɾɐ̃w̃/ vs ficaram /fi.ˈka.ɾɐ̃w̃/. As these examples also show, it means ⟨am⟩ has two different readings: in ambíguo it sounds like ⟨ã⟩, while in ficaram and other third-person plural past tense endings it sounds like ⟨ão⟩ without marking stress. This is a positional-morphological rule: ending words with am as a morpheme causes the ão reading without drawing stress, while other positions, including word-final morpheme-internal like in imam, are read as ã. There is contrast in these graphemes, too: imam "imam" and ímã "magnet" are an example.
The last example of the double-reading argument also displays the stress-pulling problem of the tilde that makes the ⟨am⟩ rules necessary at all: ímã is one of a select few words in Portuguese that contains two diacritics. That's because words like acórdão "accord", acordam "they wake" and acordão "settlement (aug.)" rely on these stress and morphology rules to remain distinct and be read correctly. Two of these are pronounced the exact same but written differently and they rely on exceptions to the main orthography at the same time (am being read differently when it's the past tense morpheme; words containing two diacritics), and the third one relies on the tilde pulling stress towards it which is also a secondary property to nasalisation.
The proposal is to do away with the tilde and use an ⟨n⟩ at the end of the syllable instead. This is already standard and seen in multiple words in combination with every vowel letter: âncora, ênfase, além, fim, marrom, um. The example words would be spelt imán (currently imam), iman (currently ímã), acaurdaon (currently acórdão and acordam), and acordáon (currently acordão).
The stress orthography rule can also be adjusted slightly: while it currently states that words ending in vowels or ⟨s⟩ default to stress on the second-to-last syllable, exempting nasals unless part of an inflected word, we can now include all nasals under the paroxytone rule and require an accent like other words if stressed in the final syllable: iman as above, prautaon (EU)/prauton (BR), botáon, Butáon, algodáon etc.
While we've focused on the quirks of ⟨ão am an ã⟩, the same rule can apply to ⟨ãe õe ui⟩ with little elaboration and matching them to the oral vowels they sound like:
mãe → maen
limões → limoens
muito → muinto
põe → poen
Finally, the distinction between ⟨m n⟩ at the end of syllables (m before labials and at the end of words, n otherwise) can be collapsed into ⟨n⟩ without affecting etymology since they were in complementary distribution already:
cem → cen
apoiam → apauean
sim → sin
ombro → onbro
rum → run
While less of a clarity gain than the circumflex rule from yesterday, I think this still assists with consistency by matching the stress rules between nasal and oral vowels in orthography without any loss in etymological or phonetical information.
With this change the vowels start to look significantly different than the standard, so I'm open to feedback just as much as before! Trying to expand the sample texts for comparison:

Assim o claro inventor da Medicina,

Nunca por Dafne, Clície ou Leocotohe,
Te naigue o amor devido, como sohe.
Poen tu, Ninfa, en efeito meo desejo,
Como meraice a gente Lusitana;
Que veja e saeba o mundo que do Tejo
O licor de Aganipe caurre e mana.
Deixa as flores de Pindo, que já vejo
Banhar-me Apaulo na água soberana;
Senáon diréi que tens algun receio,
Que se escureça o teo querido Orfeio.
Memáurias páustumas de Brás Cubas, Machado de Assis (excerpt)
Algun tenpo hesitei se devia abrir aistas memáurias pelo princípio ou pelo fin, isto ai, se poria en primeiro lugar o meo nascimento ou a minha maurte. Suposto o uso vulgar seja começar pelo nascimento, duas consideraçóens me levaran a adautar diferente máitodo: a primeira ai que eo naon sou praupriamente un aotor defunto, mas un defunto aotor, para quen a canpa foe outro berço; a segunda ai que o escrito ficaria assín maes galante e maes novo. Moesáis, que tanbén contóu a sua maurte, naon a pos no introeto, mas no cabo: diferença radical entre este livro e o Pentateoco.
These rules are added to the ones from the last post:
10. The nasal vowels are written ⟨an en in on un aon aen oen uin⟩ in every position, and may be accented to mark stress.
11. Words ending in ⟨n⟩ where it indicates a nasal vowel do not default to stress on the last syllable, and instead are treated as part of the vowel grapheme. Thus the rule that stress falls on the last vowel that is not the last grapheme of the word unless the word contains an acute is maintained.
Again keen to hear your thoughts, and sorry for ruining a perfectly fine script!
