Frenkisch: Difference between revisions

This is complicated. Short vowels are marked by doubling the following consonants. Long vowels are followed by a single consonant or occasionally by doubling the vowel. Frenkisch strives for a regular spelling system. However it retains certain spelling conventions for the sake of etymology and aesthetics when such conventions don't interfere too much with regularity. For example '''qu''', '''x''' and '''ck''' are used where simpler ''kw'', ''ks'' and ''kk'' would have sufficed. Often there are more than one way to spell the same sound, for the sake of etymology. For example [aɪ] can be spelled as '''y''' or '''aj'''. [ʃ] can be spelled as '''sch''' or '''ch'''. [ts] is normally spelled with '''c''', but with ti in words such as '''nation'''.
