Tables in any markup language are a pain. Markdown’s tables are certainly better than HTML’s.
I’m not an expert in the IPA; this is my best guess.
| Letter | IPA | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| a | /a/ | |
| b | /b/ | |
| c | /s/ or /k/ | Like Spanish, it becomes soft before e and i with an /s/ sound and hard before a, o, and u with a /k/ sound. The difference here is that c becomes soft at the end of a word in my language, but not in Spanish nor English nor any other sane language. To preserve a /k/ or /s/ sound before a different vowel, c is usually changed to q and s respectively. |
| d | /d̪/ | |
| e | /e/ | |
| f | /f/ | |
| g | /ʒ/ or /g/ | Like the letter c, g also becomes soft and hard. However, it does not become soft at the end of a word. To preserve a /ʒ/ sound, g is usually changed to a j. To preserve a /g/ sound, an apostrophe is added after the g. |
| h | /∅/ | Like Spanish and other Romance languages, h is always silent. It doesn’t combine with other letters to form diagraphs. It’s only used in loanwords. |
| i | /i/ | |
| j | /ʒ/ | |
| k | /k/ | K usually isn’t used in my language because I don’t like how it’s two strokes in my handwriting. Q looks a lot cooler. Thus, k is only used in loanwords. |
| l | /l/ or /o/ | When l starts a word or is before a vowel, it is pronounced /l/. When l ends a word after a consonant, it is pronounced /o/. When l is after a vowel and is before a consonant or at the end of a word, it merges with the vowel and is jointly pronounced /o/. |
| m | /m/ | /əm/ after a consonant at the end of a word. |
| n | /n/ | /ən/ after a consonant at the end of a word. |
| o | /o/ | |
| p | /p/ | |
| q | /k/ | Q doesn’t merge with u. When it’s its own word, it’s pronounced /ky/ (means “than”). |
| r | /ɾ/, /x/, or /ɻ/ | When r starts a word, it is pronounced /ɻ/. Otherwise, before a vowel it is pronounced /ɾ/. After a vowel, it is pronounced /x/ if it’s not followed by a vowel. /ɚ/ after a consonant at the end of a word. |
| s | /s/ | |
| t | /t̪/ | |
| u | /u/ | |
| v | /b/ or /v/ | Pronounced /b/ when it starts a word; /v/ otherwise. |
| w | /w/ | Only used in loanwords. |
| x | /ks/ | |
| y | /i̯/ or /j/ | I list two pronunciations because I’m not very good with the IPA. |
| z | /z/ | |
| ’ | /∅/ or /ə/ | Ideally silent if possible, but a schwa can be inserted. |
Everything here is subject to change.
