Gussnish uses an alphabet
The phonetic value of any consonant letter is the first consonant in its name - so that <χ> for example sounds like 'ts' (i.e. /ts/) and <ɧ> sounds like 'λ' (i.e. /ɮ/)
The letters themselves are derived from pictograms.
pæsj = bear = ɤ
tænwef = mushroom = ɷ
tsordh = hourglass = χ
sæn = head = ɵ
tσæba = goblet = ʋ
σværa = clock = ɸ
tjiweσ = cloud = ɯ
sjwæt = rose = ɘ
kmath = jaw = ɜ
banr = hill = ʌ
driλ = river = ʭ
dzitra = fence = ʜ
zaweth = ant = ɶ
dλersja = plough = ʄ
λa = human being = ɧ
djarva = seesaw = ʎ
zji = hair = ɪ
gænø = foot = ɺ
minth = arm = ʏ
nuret = star = ʞ
ŋølær = boat = ʁ
reλæth = tree = ʡ
lif = moon = ɔ
wuthma = whale = ɚ
yachta = navel = ʘ
lenition sign = ː
The phonetic value of a vowel letter is the first vowel in its name.
a: ʱ (called ''λa ære'', 'small human being')
æ: ˠ (''pæsj ære'' 'small bear')
e: ˀ (''reλæth ære'' 'small tree')
i: ʷ (''tjiweσ ære'' 'small cloud')
o: ˣ (''tsordh ære'' 'small hourglass')
ø: ʶ (''ŋølær ære'' 'small boat')
u: ˧˥ (''nuret ære'' 'small star')
The symbol ǃ is sometimes used as an alternative to ʞ (''nuret'') after a vowel and before a consonant. So for example, denr (three) is written <ʭˠǃʡ>. It's called ''nuret tharsj'' 'narrow star'.
Punctuation is as follows:
[ ] = quotation marks
. = space/word boundary marker
ɭ = period
ɭɭ = comma
ʕ̰ = semicolon
ʕ = colon
The punctuation mark ˈ is placed before sentences and clauses, and ˌ before proper names.
ˈɤˠ.ɵˣǃɚˠ.ʏˀʞɤːʱʡʞʱɷːˀɭɭ.[ˈɜˣ.ˀɤːɵʱ.ʭːˀ.ɘɚˠɷ.ʏˀʋːˠʌʱʞˠʡɭ]
Pæ sonwæ menfarnathe, "Ko efsa dhe sjwæt meσæbanær."
The person said, "There's water and a rose in the goblet."
