Alphabet and Regularity (proposed)
It would be best to have absolute regularity with all parts of speech. But in order to do that, we need to decide which letters can be used.

Vowels: a e i o u

Consonants: b d f g k l m n p r s t v w y z

Diphthongs: ng, ay, ey, oy

So for regularity: Anyone want to add/subtract anything? Razlem 23:48, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe not so regular. The -o rule drives me nuts in esperanto. How about nouns end in a consonant, and thenSo for regularity:

Stuff that requires shorter words should be able to end in consonants. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 02:09, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

As long as it's a vowel followed by a consonant. The whole idea is to be able to change meaning without creating a new word/ending (Esperanto: teatro- "theater" teatra-"theatrical"). This is assuming that the roots all end in a consonant. Razlem 02:24, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking, say theatre is "teater", then theatrical is "teatera," and theatrically is "teateri." Much like Esperanto. Note the changes I made above to verbs. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 03:24, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

I suppose, but would every word end in R? If it has to be a consonant, L may be easier to say (and to hear). Razlem 03:51, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Well no. Not every noun has to end in r. There could be a group of consonants that would be natural nouns (say r, p, t, k), artificial nouns (s, f, g, b, d) or something like that. But lol I was thinking a Korean/Japanese system where there's only one liquid which could sound like an l or an r depending on the situation. But check out my syllabic system and that would probably change all this. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 04:02, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

I think Razlem's system is fine, the -o thing in Esperanto is fine and it sounds great. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 17:52, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Future Plans
I'm showing this page to a couple of my friends; one offered to create a Rosetta-Stone-like program when we're finished. I thought that was an excellent idea (but it might be while before we get to that point). Opinions? Razlem 02:08, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Isn't this just sort of practice? —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 02:09, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, great plans for our dear offspring :D Panglossa | Talk 02:14, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Well, if we like how it turns out at the end, then we should try it. Razlem 02:18, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
