Grasias George,
I had an idea of a language that would have no irregularities in
grammar, sounds like mixture of Spanish and Italian (vocabulary
heavily based on them as well as Latin, German, French and some
English and Swedish too)and letters would have only one way to
pronounce them. Much like LFN.
I use letter 'q' for the 'ng'- combination though. 'King' would be
written as 'Kiq'. I also include 'h' and 'j' (pronounced as in German).
Also you could tell from the last letter of the word if it is a noun,
verb, adjective, comparative, superlative, number, conditional,
past/future tense or plural etc.
Now I'm not so sure though if I should carry on for it is difficult
not to be influenced by LFN now that I have had a glimpse of it. :)
bon voles
