Revising the alphabet!



I hereby propose:

B as in Boy 
C as in SHine
D as in DuD
F as in FluFF
G as in Good
H as in Hat
J as in pleaSure, Je suis.
K as in KinK
L as in LuLL
M as in MiM
N as in NooN
P as in PiP
Q as in siNG
R as in RoaR (Midwestern American or Mandarin preferred, but any 'r' sound will do.)
S as in So
T as in ToT
V as in Victory 
Z as in Zoo

TC as in CHew
DJ as in Joe

A as in fAther
E as in bEt*
I as in machIne
O as in bOAt
U as in bOOt

Diphthongs formed with Y and W semivowels.

Now a question:

What shall the stress rule be?  Current rule is on the last full vowel (aeiou) before the last non-vowel, so we have pi-ra-MUN, BA-lu, sa-LI-na.

Two other possibilities are straight penultimate, a la Esperanto, or initial stress.

For the sake of simplicity, I'm inclined to go with penultimate.

Reactions?
