~ very minimalistic conscript (for numerous languages) ~
with the basic letters/sounds: «a», «h», «i», «k», «l», «m», «n», «p», «s», «t», «u» and «y» (vowel ligature consisting of «i»+«u»).
new consonants can be created with a dot above or below the consonant (subsequent «"» or «'» resp. on the keyboard), e.g. «p» + «"» = «f». to create new vowels, the existing («a», «i», «u» and also «y») can be linked together with a line («-» on the keyboard), e.g. «a» + «-» + «i» = «e».
with a subsequent short vertical lower or upper line («;» or «:» resp. on the keyboard) you can shorten/soften or lengthen/harden a letter/sound respectively.
a pause can be written with «,» and the end of a sentence with «.».
if you want to write numerals (you don't have to, if you want to keep it simple and minimalistic), you can write them with a preceding and subsequent «,» and then use the letters in between as numerals. like this: 0=a, 1=i, 2=p, 3=t, 4=k, 5=s, 6=h, 7=n, 8=m, 9=u («l» and «y» are not used). you can use the «,» also to separate numbers.

I created a pronunciation chart for the script!
a = [a]
a-i = [ɛ]
a-u = [ɔ]
a-y = [œ]
i = [i]
i-a = [e]
i-u = [ə]
i-y = [ø]
u = [u]
u-a = [o]
u-i = [ɤ]
u-y = [ʌ]
y = [y]
y-a = [ɐ]
y-i = [ɯ]
y-u = [ɜ]
i' = [j]
u" = [w]
p = [p]
p" = [f]
p' = [b]
p'" = [v]
t = [t]
t" = [θ]
t' = [d]
t'" = [ð]
k = [k]
k" = [c]
k' = [g]
k'" = [ɟ]
s = [s]
s" = [ʃ]
s' = [z]
s'" = [ʒ]
h = [h]
h" = [x]
h' = [ʔ]
h'" = [ɣ]
n = [n]
n" = [ɲ]
n' = [ŋ]
n'" = [ɹ]
m = [m]
m" = [ɸ]
m' = [ʋ]
m'" = [β]
l = [l]
l" = [r]
l' = [ʎ]
l'" = [ʀ]
wow, thank you! :)
Whoops, [j] and [w] are wrong. [j] is ii, and [w] is uu.
Stella for English:
i = /i:/
y = /ɪ/
u-y = /ʊ/
u = /u:/
i-a = /e/
i-u = /ə/
y-u = /ɜ/
u-a = /ɔ:/
a-i = /æ/
a-y = /ʌ/
a = /ɑ:/
a-u = /ɒ/
Dipthongs are 2 glyphs together.
p = /p/
p' = /b/
t = /t/
t' = /d/
k" = /ʧ/
k'" = /ʤ/
k = /k/
k' = /g/
p" = /f/
p'" = /v/
t" = /θ/
t'" = /ð/
s = /s/
s' = /z/
s" = /ʃ/
s'" = /ʒ/
m = /m/
n = /n/
n' = /ŋ/
h = /h/
l = /l/
l" = /r/
i-i = /j/
u-u = /w/
which looks better
without. k, a, s, and i are independent letters.
i have 2 things
1. how are long vowels supposed to be shown? (for example: ありがとう (aɾigatoː)
2. how are asperated and breathy voiced consonants going to be shown as well? (for example: धन्यवाद (d̪ʱənjəvɑːd̪ə) अच्छा (əʧʧʰɑː)
1. "with a subsequent short vertical lower or upper line («;» or «:» resp. on the keyboard) you can shorten/soften or lengthen/harden a letter/sound respectively."
2. you could maybe just use a subsequent «h».
part 2 of question 1
which one is long, (ː) and which one is half-long? (ˑ)
«:» is long, «;» is short
