There are people who invented a whole new set of alphabet and spelling for English. One of which is Shavian alphabet. Just in case anyone is wondering.
Faks mie gie but I must ask wie yoos ð and not just þ alsoe I'm wundering if wee still do the "e at þe end of u(or ə) word to signify a vowol saying its one name" and theres 20 sumþing vowels and only 7 vowel letters (þu R sownd in cr or cerentlee "car" and y saying þe ee in cerentlee) þare is also "ow" "er" "ing" "or" and uþers wic I forgit
I don't know why nobody said this but C is needed for Ch as in Chicken, plus note that while C may not be useful in English, there are other languages where its useful (x: Irish, Welsh, etc.)
C is worse then you mentioned, it makes k in "cat", s in "city", ch in "cello" and sh in "ocean". I'd probably make C go sh so when you add h it makes a similar yet different sound without the need of new letters
Id go c for sh and tc for ch as ch is really just tsh. Also id use x for voiced sh like in beige as an omage to ж in the Cyrillic script that makes the same sound
Maybe instead of removing c, you write it as ç when it is pronounced like a s. Also, x isn't the only letter representing 2 sounds. J represents a d and an s (like in vision) merged together. Thats why it gets transcripted into Russian as дж. Like d zh. It's the same thing for ch. It represents tsh. Edit: also sometimes y represents ar and ee together like in my.
I'd probably repurpose X to be used as a modifier: CX - "ch" in chair JX - "j" in jump SX - "sh" in shape ZX - "s" in leisure TX - "th" in think DX - "th" in the NX - "ng" in sing I'd repurpose J for the J in fjord and hallelujah, and remove Y altogether I'd repurpose Q for the unstressed a in about, so that i can make almost every vowel sound: A - trap AJ - price AW - mouth AA - palm E - dress EJ - face EE - square I - kit IJ - fleece II - near O - lot OJ - choice OO - thought U - foot UW - goose UU - cure Q - commA QW - goat QQ - nurse sqw, wot duw juw txinxk?
The worst part of english spelling is the vowels. 5 (6 with Y) letters to represent like 20 But the sad truth is: everybody speaks differently, especially vowels, so vowel-to-letter correspondence would lead to inconsistent spelling Like, X or C really is not a burden, the vowels and inconsistent spelling are Also, doing spelling reform, even if possible, is really, really hard. Even if USA will say "now write this" many countries won't, or would apply new rules inconsistently. New generations would still need to learn old spelling in order to access literature and basically everything
You might take an inspiration from the Czech Alphabet (Abeceda) which has 42 letters instead of 26. Czech is a very phonetic language so all the texts we "write as we hear". Here are all the letters: A, Á, B, C, Č, D, Ď, E, É, Ě, F, G, H, Ch, I, Í, J, K, L, M, N, Ň, O, Ó, P, Q, R, Ř, S, Š, T, Ť, U, Ú, Ů, V, W, X, Y, Ý, Z, Ž. As someone already mentioned here in the discussion English coul borrow following letters from the Czech Alphabet: CH = Č - chair - čér SH = Š - shoe - šů G, J = Ž - garage - garáž, Gill - Žil, January - Žeňuery T - Ť = tune - ťůn etc.
You could derive a few sounds by palatalisation symbolized with a caron (upside down circumflex) or acute over top the non-palatal counterpart: ch = t’, j = d’, sh = ś, s in "measure" = z’, hy = h’ (so hue might become h’ou) That way, at least some similar looking letters will also sound similar, making the system more intuitive. (Under ideal circumstances these would all be arranged as nicely as the ś)
OK I’ve been doing this since I was young anyways. I’m resuming my habits I don’t care what people in the professional space think 😂 there will never be a “good time” to change the alphabet. So let’s just start now individually.
The reason why we have the letter x, for ks, and no pl, wh or pl, is because of alphabet evolution. Greek people had the letter Ksi, and our alphabet is derived from the Latin alphabet. And Latin borrowed words from Greek. Some of which had the letter ksi. So the letter was added. And there’s the answer.
I think the reason why we still have the letter x is because of clusters. It saves time writing “boxes” and not “bokses”. It’s what the Spanish did when investing the “ñ”. It was to save room and money on paper, instead of writing two n’s.
Bro TH already had a letter- “thorn” that faded out and was replaced with Y, at some point that’s why “ye” existed- and why it became “the” to show the difference in sound.
Fact:If this was the new alphabet, Qat would be "Kwat", Qatar would be "Kwatar" and Qabala would be "Kwabala" even though its pronounced "Kaht", "Kahtaur" and "Kaabal-la"

Not to get totally off topic, but I remember in high school Spanish, we were taught that the alphabet included CH (che) as well as LL (elle). Are these not actually treated as separate letters of the Spanish alphabet? Were we taught wrong or did it change? High school was over 20 years ago…so I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if something changed.
@@Schlanman Thanks! No problem…not a big deal. I just remembered the song the teacher taught us to memorize the alphabet and it had both of those letters in it. I googled this soon after I asked here and found several images of Spanish alphabets that had those letters and several that didn’t. I guess it depends on who’s teaching.
@@Yoshnis-TW *it šüd lük līk ðis. The vowel-modifying silent e is problematic for the common accent omission in loanwords like résumé and pâté (often written as resume and pate), and the silent l is just an artifact
I for one think that English should also bring back Þ for the /th/ in "thin" and ð for the /th/ in "the". In your proposed alphabet, there is only one character for /th/, which doesn't make it clear to non-native speakers which sound should be pronounced. But I totally agree that C is a completely useless letter!
POV: you are a very original American, that is gonna reform English spelling by replacing consonants in a way everybody has already seen, and by leaving out the vowels litterally unchanged, like you don't see any problem with them🙃
i have no clue what you’re saying. for reference i have no linguistic knowledge. i’m just a dude with Adhd and has always had trouble spelling. and i have no idea why american english has such weird rules
Well, my brother told me that she should stay and K should get removed because like ABC C is one of the first three letters yeah it might seem dumb, but I think that’s how the alphabet should go
I'm brasilian and our pronounces of the alphabet in portuguese is much more direct than english. Exemples: Farmácia (= pharmacy | our 'ph' was abolished a long time ago) Xerife (= sheriff | our 'x' sounds mainly like your 'sh') Our 'j' sounds like your but without a sound 'd' together (search Joana in both) Our "a" sounds ever "a" like in "car" (but 'ã' become a nasal 'a') Our "i" souns ever "i" like in "idiot". We dont double 'n' or put 'mn', like 'innocent' (= inocente) and 'omniscient' (= onisciente). And etc...
Keep the "C" and make it sound like a "K" even before a "E" or "I", use the "K" for the "CH" sound, use the "J" for the "SH" sound, let the "Y" take it's place, like "Our yet plane haven't landed yet".
I like the fact that you propose that the «c» sounds like /k/ before «e, i» as well as before «a, o, u», which reminds me of classical Latin in which its use is indeed like this (for example, «centum» [ˈkɛn̪.t̪ʊm̚]), until the palatalization towards that velar sound [k] (which is easily affected) changed to the sound [t̠͡ʃ] and later to other variants in the different languages; until [θ̟] after a long process in Spanish (although in my variant of Spanish it is spoken seseo, so it is simply [s̪]).
@@jamburga321 That, that! 😅 In my dialect of Spanish (Argentine from Buenos Aires) we actually pronounce the «y» (and the «ll») as «sh», so effectively, that's right. Other areas, however, pronounce that «sh» as «zh» [ʒ], ha, ha.
Ok, ad money well spent. On this day youtube's no adblocker policy actually brought me something I wanted to see, a promoted video on linguistics and nerdy stuff, and not an ad for home owners insurance (I don't own a home), overstock goods that definitely won't steal my credit card, or a promoted video that's vaguely sexist/homophobic/racist.
instead of removing C, assign it the Dj sound, as in 'j'ordan. and the J we use can be the 's' as in plea's'ure! for SH, and CH, why dont we rob from turkish, they have pre existing sounds for that? and for TH as in 'th'rill, rob from the icelandics. and the TH as in 'th'ough, rob the d with a line from the icelandics too.
In my opinion, this is bad. Keep the C. You could confuse it with other names like cat and kat. Removing the X makes the word longer, not better. but we found ks in some words sooooooo... let's replace them with x! The instant letters are stupid. Why just not steal others like the Ç, Ч, Č, etc. also, TH has already a letter, it's Þ þ, and for sh is also Ş and Š. You could use Ð ð called eth that you could use it for voiced ths, and the Þ is for unvoiced ths. Use the eng, Ŋ, and use it, for example: Comiŋ, Talkiŋ, Walkiŋ. Ooo! let's use the marcons as long vocals, like Ā Ē Ī Ō Ū, and they will be AA, EE, II, OO, UU. They could also be used in some words that contain 1 vocal, but they sound long. More! let's revive Yogh Ȝ ȝ, We could use yogh as a replacement as gh. and also adopt this weird letter, or, if you don't like how it looks, we can reject it, it's Ȣ ȣ. We could replace ou as ȣ, so, for example: Þrȣȝ.
In Persian we have 3 z! : ز ض ظ 2 s : س ص 2 t : ت ط 2 h : ه ح 2 gh or q : غ ق And we should write exactly like we have learned. Because if we write it another shape, people think we are joking or make fun of sth or they think we are weak in literature. Like me 😁. But we can write some words different: واقعاً or واقعن واقعاً : more formal واقعن : informal
The ھ makes other letters have a h sound to them the ح is just makes the h sound the ط makes the hard t sound the ت makes the normal sound and also غ makes the hard g sound not gh the ق makes the hard c or hard k sound and the ک makes the normal k sound, idk the other sound tho.
My only issue would be the contradiction between the "Ñ" being okay (when it can be used as a digraph like with gn in italian iirc, or ny like in in the google pronunciation you showed, or like in nn, as it was originally and how the ñ was birthed, after all they are are actualyl two n's on top of each other)
7. Or you could come and make œ 8. Good morning and we make ł 9. For the meantime we make ñ 10. Kick C outside 11. Do the letter ë 12. Maybe next is ty the end
I don’t agree with getting rid of X and C. X made the alphabet more simple. But xylophone should be spelt zylophone. Also, you could of made C make the Ch sound
There is a problem with TH only having one letter, because it actually needs two. One letter for its unvoiced version as in think, thorn or with, and one for its voiced version as in this, that or thus. Both of these previously had characters in English but were dropped from usage. Thorn was dropped because of the invention of the printing press which initially substituted Y for Thorn and survives to some extent when we see old-timey writing that says "Ye Old Whatever" which would have been read as "The Old Whatever" where The was written (thorn)+e. You are also overlooking something that X does that KS or EKS doesn't and that is abbreviation. Why would someone want to write two or three letters when they could just write X. It is even fairly common to replace "Christ" in Christmas with an X and write it as x-mas. Religious arguments aside, X-mas is just faster to write. The replacement characters for CH, SH and TH are combinations of the prexisting letter combinations and if we are going to go through that much work writing one new letter, why not just write the old two. That is why Thorn and Eth (aka That) should make a comeback in my opinion, Eth being the TH in This, that or thus (and as I indicated previously Eth was sometimes just called "That" instead of "Eth" and the whole word That was written with just one letter, similar to how we use B, I, N, O, R. U and Y as stand alone letters representing whole words: be, I, in, Oh, are, you, and why today. One you didn't mention was W which today is treated as one letter but is actually (as it's name suggests) is a combination of two letters, U or V a literal double-U or double-V in French. This sound was originally represented by a now dropped letter from English called Wynn.
wouldn't it be better to use pre- existing letters than to make new letters? could use the old english runes to refer for letters to better represent sounds, and if it doesn't have what we are looking for, we can borrow from another language. example- ''ч'' making the sound ''ch'' from the russian language. the benefits of this would make english easier to learn. and also wouldn't making more letters to better represent sounds make english easier to learn as well, more specifically vowels. ex. the word ''release'' ''re'' is making the ri sound, and is needing two letters ''ea'' to represent one sound and the last letter e adds nothing. and while the sound the letter x makes can be represented by other letters, i generally support the idea of individual letters representing multiple sound as x makes the 'ks' sound, as it keeps things shorter. my general meaning is i'd rather learn letters that doesn't change pronunciation of itself depending on what word its in, than to learn how each individual word is supposed to be spelled and pronounced which isn't always consistently the same.
Great Video! 👍 But something I realized: The Spanish Ñ sound like Ny. But the X in English sounds like Ks. so if X can be Ks, why can't Ñ be Ny??? And Q + U = Q?? Doesn't that Contradict? Just a little contradiction a came across, but great vid! 👍 Very entertaining to see the new versions!

Fun fact, the CH sound is actually a combination of two sounds.
T + SH = CH
This also applies for the J sound.
D + ZH = J
not exactly. it's a off-glide, not a combination. this is called an affricate.
zh is kinda like z + sh
@@Copley-vf9vz actually, no. z is the voiced version of s, and zh is the voiced version of sh
I guess you could say t + sh is similar to CH.
T + S = Ц
Also, "ph" literally makes the "f" sound. We should change it too. Instead if phone, it will be "fone".
I think it kinda makes sense, but if you’re into saving space, then yeah.
make it ph then
I don't know why nobody said this but C is needed for Ch as in Chicken, plus note that while C may not be useful in English, there are other languages where its useful (x: Irish, Welsh, etc.)

@@Schlanman what?
@@jamburga321 in the second half i say that since i’m getting rid of “c” we should make a new letter for “ch”

@@Justyouraveragedaeodon5 yeah exactly so that's why he made this version
Are we ignoring that the TH in THe and THing are different sounds too - originally Thorn and eth like in modern Icelandic kinda
C is worse then you mentioned, it makes k in "cat", s in "city", ch in "cello" and sh in "ocean". I'd probably make C go sh so when you add h it makes a similar yet different sound without the need of new letters
thats smart
Id go c for sh and tc for ch as ch is really just tsh. Also id use x for voiced sh like in beige as an omage to ж in the Cyrillic script that makes the same sound
@@Ox_Eye I try to keep things short X for [ʒ], c beinɡ [ʃ] feels off since we use sh normally but c beinɡ [ʧ] works since we have ch mostly beinɡ that
Maybe instead of removing c, you write it as ç when it is pronounced like a s. Also, x isn't the only letter representing 2 sounds. J represents a d and an s (like in vision) merged together. Thats why it gets transcripted into Russian as дж. Like d zh. It's the same thing for ch. It represents tsh.
Edit: also sometimes y represents ar and ee together like in my.
I'd probably repurpose X to be used as a modifier:
CX - "ch" in chair
JX - "j" in jump
SX - "sh" in shape
ZX - "s" in leisure
TX - "th" in think
DX - "th" in the
NX - "ng" in sing
I'd repurpose J for the J in fjord and hallelujah, and remove Y altogether
I'd repurpose Q for the unstressed a in about, so that i can make almost every vowel sound:

the “ch” is transcribed like that because it’s a softening/breathening of the c, and so they lit an h on there to denote breathiness
Just make the Q itself make the QU sound when next to an A or O and a K sound when next to a E or I
Thiss gonna get us outta 2nd grade
the "ch" sound is a combination of t and sh and j is a combination of d and the "zh" sound (pronounced like the s in measure)
Ks add the end of words creates confusion when replacing x, as it looks like a plural form of a word that isn’t singular

TH already exists, its þ [lowercase]and Þ [uppercase]
Honestly everything no longer makes sense to me ☠️💀
Removing C kind of destroys the whole alphabet. ABC --> AB?
And before anyone even thinks of typing "ABD", You can't just do that, Because that's just too simple.
just call it the fucking alphabet
ABQDEFG
So now it's "cat" to "kat"
Kat is a name of a human
Alphabet? Nah, betabet? Nah, its deltabet
if there is no x, we won’t use x to mean “unknown”, like in math, we will use another letter, say, w, so w-ray. 2:28
“oh fire”
What about the "C" in pacific , it is pronounced differently 🤔
Sчlanman bam It looks better now doesn't it
Let's add ч and þ
2:06 My doctor used a KS-Ray
Edit: I mean EKS-Ray
nailed it
Zhlawg’s “ch” letter looks like something from an obsolete Latin alphabet for a Caucasian language
this makes more sense
instead of removing C, assign it the Dj sound, as in 'j'ordan. and the J we use can be the 's' as in plea's'ure!
for SH, and CH, why dont we rob from turkish, they have pre existing sounds for that? and for TH as in 'th'rill, rob from the icelandics. and the TH as in 'th'ough, rob the d with a line from the icelandics too.
In my opinion, this is bad.
Keep the C. You could confuse it with other names like cat and kat.
Removing the X makes the word longer, not better. but we found ks in some words sooooooo... let's replace them with x!
The instant letters are stupid. Why just not steal others like the Ç, Ч, Č, etc. also, TH has already a letter, it's Þ þ, and for sh is also Ş and Š.
You could use Ð ð called eth that you could use it for voiced ths, and the Þ is for unvoiced ths.
Use the eng, Ŋ, and use it, for example: Comiŋ, Talkiŋ, Walkiŋ.
Ooo! let's use the marcons as long vocals, like Ā Ē Ī Ō Ū, and they will be AA, EE, II, OO, UU. They could also be used in some words that contain 1 vocal, but they sound long.
More! let's revive Yogh Ȝ ȝ, We could use yogh as a replacement as gh. and also adopt this weird letter, or, if you don't like how it looks, we can reject it, it's Ȣ ȣ. We could replace ou as ȣ, so, for example: Þrȣȝ.
But we already have a letter for TH, and It’s thorn, or Þ þ.
In Persian we have 3 z! : ز ض ظ
2 s : س ص
2 t : ت ط
2 h : ه ح
2 gh or q : غ ق
And we should write exactly like we have learned. Because if we write it another shape, people think we are joking or make fun of sth or they think we are weak in literature. Like me 😁.
But we can write some words different: واقعاً or واقعن
واقعاً : more formal
واقعن : informal
The ھ makes other letters have a h sound to them the ح is just makes the h sound the ط makes the hard t sound the ت makes the normal sound and also غ makes the hard g sound not gh the ق makes the hard c or hard k sound and the ک makes the normal k sound, idk the other sound tho.
My only issue would be the contradiction between the "Ñ" being okay (when it can be used as a digraph like with gn in italian iirc, or ny like in in the google pronunciation you showed, or like in nn, as it was originally and how the ñ was birthed, after all they are are actualyl two n's on top of each other)
the x=ks is actually a thing in polish as well don’t have x in our alphabet
Solid solution
🫡
TH actually makes two different sounds, so you must have made two different alphabets for it.
I think the spelling of English is perfect as it is. A mess that actually works fine. Altering it will have consequences. A lot.
Q just makes a kw sound though 🤔
it does! but if it makes it own sound why does it need to be wired with a U. why not on its own
@@Schlanmanisnt that a combination ok KW
What do you think of shavian?
Hi, How ‘Bout My A That Makes I Sound?
Loklin
Or
Loklan
1. You make z in have an v on it
2. You make ly
3. Draw Ÿ on ü
4. Make the day of gy
5. Make á & ż
6. Or maybe we should make ö too
why not make c make the ks sound. and c̯ for gz
We have the alphabet, betabet and now the zetabet
You could've used Þ for TH
lol didnt know this letter existed till after the video
7. Or you could come and make œ
8. Good morning and we make ł
9. For the meantime we make ñ
10. Kick C outside
11. Do the letter ë
12. Maybe next is ty the end
bro forgot that "th" represents two different sounds as well
I don’t agree with getting rid of X and C. X made the alphabet more simple. But xylophone should be spelt zylophone. Also, you could of made C make the Ch sound
What about all the arabic and hebrew letters thatbdo unique sounds
1:30 ?? celsius>tselsius?? i think just make that c makes only that "ts" sound
There is a problem with TH only having one letter, because it actually needs two. One letter for its unvoiced version as in think, thorn or with, and one for its voiced version as in this, that or thus. Both of these previously had characters in English but were dropped from usage. Thorn was dropped because of the invention of the printing press which initially substituted Y for Thorn and survives to some extent when we see old-timey writing that says "Ye Old Whatever" which would have been read as "The Old Whatever" where The was written (thorn)+e.
You are also overlooking something that X does that KS or EKS doesn't and that is abbreviation. Why would someone want to write two or three letters when they could just write X. It is even fairly common to replace "Christ" in Christmas with an X and write it as x-mas. Religious arguments aside, X-mas is just faster to write. The replacement characters for CH, SH and TH are combinations of the prexisting letter combinations and if we are going to go through that much work writing one new letter, why not just write the old two. That is why Thorn and Eth (aka That) should make a comeback in my opinion, Eth being the TH in This, that or thus (and as I indicated previously Eth was sometimes just called "That" instead of "Eth" and the whole word That was written with just one letter, similar to how we use B, I, N, O, R. U and Y as stand alone letters representing whole words: be, I, in, Oh, are, you, and why today.
One you didn't mention was W which today is treated as one letter but is actually (as it's name suggests) is a combination of two letters, U or V a literal double-U or double-V in French. This sound was originally represented by a now dropped letter from English called Wynn.
Actually “TH” has 3 letters representing it Theta, Eth, and Thorn.
wouldn't it be better to use pre- existing letters than to make new letters? could use the old english runes to refer for letters to better represent sounds, and if it doesn't have what we are looking for, we can borrow from another language.
example- ''ч'' making the sound ''ch'' from the russian language. the benefits of this would make english easier to learn. and also wouldn't making more letters to better represent sounds make english easier to learn as well, more specifically vowels. ex. the word ''release'' ''re'' is making the ri sound, and is needing two letters ''ea'' to represent one sound and the last letter e adds nothing.
and while the sound the letter x makes can be represented by other letters, i generally support the idea of individual letters representing multiple sound as x makes the 'ks' sound, as it keeps things shorter.
my general meaning is i'd rather learn letters that doesn't change pronunciation of itself depending on what word its in, than to learn how each individual word is supposed to be spelled and pronounced which isn't always consistently the same.
i wasn't at the part were the dude already said using the russian ch and sh letters but nice video.
I doņ þiň þß ß a ğd îēæ...
Right. The letter C only ever makes the K and S sounds. Like in "politician." And "ocean."
politiчan. oчean.
But both of those C words have the ah sound not K or S
Great Video! 👍
But something I realized: The Spanish Ñ sound like Ny. But the X in English sounds like Ks. so if X can be Ks, why can't Ñ be Ny??? And Q + U = Q?? Doesn't that Contradict?
Just a little contradiction a came across, but great vid! 👍 Very entertaining to see the new versions!
