Here's the alphabet. Can we baseline it? <!--HEAD1--> <img src="lyndasmall.jpg" align=bottom> <PRE> <h1><i>PRONUNCIATION OF TCEQLI</i></h1> <PRE>The Tceqli language uses the 26 letters of the Roman alphabet. There are 13 consonants: B as in Boy C as in SHoe D as in DuD F as in FluFF G as in Good H as in Hat J as in meaSure K as in KinK P as in PiP S as in So T as in ToT V as in Victory Z as in Zoo DJ makes the sounds in JudGe TC makes the sounds in CHurCH There are 6 vowels: A as in fAther E as in bEt I as in machIne O as in bOAt U as in bOOt X as in bUg sofA (schwa) And there are seven "Weaks." Weaks are neither vowels nor consonants, but somewhere in between. They have vowel-like quality, but never form a syllable: L as in LuLL M as in MiMe N as in NooN Q as in siNG R as in RoaR (preferable trilled, but any version of "r" will do) W as in We Y as in You Abbreviations: C = consonant, V= vowel, W=weak. Weaks and vowels are grouped together as non-consonants, abbreviation N. Stress always falls on the first syllable: Bala BA-la Pila PI-la Dia DI-a Pyano PYA-no Kanor KA-nor Baley BA-ley Palam PA-lam Piramun PI-ra-mun Punay PU-nay Koyla KOy-la -- >PLEASE NOTE MY NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS: rmay@hidden.email > Rex F.
