Our "Krazy" Language

Check out this post from my Brother's Father in Law! I love this.

Changes to our crazy language:

The first thing that I propose is that we make some simple changes that will be very innocuous.
Let us replace the letter C with S if it is a soft sound and with a K if it is a
hard sound.
C ==> S (soft)
or
C ==> K (hard)

Pease will overkome us as we kommense to garner the rewards from this
simplifikation. With one less letter in the alphabet, we kan kontinue with our quest.

C gone

I before E exsept after C. Well without C we will need to do something about that rule. Let us get rid of the silent E and replace the IE group with either I or E, depending on the sound that it makes. Now we kan resev the benefits of this simplifikation too. For that matter lets just eliminate all silent vowels.

Silent vowels gone.

This is a good start to having pesful harmony in our simpl shangs.

Double letters hav always been a bothr. Double letrs hav to go.

S somtims sounds like Z.

Let's cal a Z a Z.

S ==> Z (hard S lik "is")

Doubl vowelz uzualy hav a singl sound.

OO ==> U
EE ==> E

Q is the hardest letr to uz in SKRABL. It iz very difikult to uz Q without U. We know that the wordz that are speld with QU sound like KW, so we will just make that substitution.

While we are at it we need to get rid of that TION group that makes the SHUN sound.

QU ==> KW
Q ==> K

Ther ar severl groups of letrz that go togethr that hav ther very own sounds, like PH sounds like F. While we ar at it, the WH sounds like W. We should just eliminate the h in those pairs. Just to mak it a bit simplr ve should just eliminat h and go bak to our British ruts. And wat is up wit puting D in wordz when you kan't hear it, the sam with G. Wil we kan simplify by just leavin tose wole souns out ther iz no menin lost.

PH ==> F
WH ==> W
ND ==> N
NG ==> N
TH ==> T
G ==> J (as in "logikal")
Y ==> I
X ==> GS

We kan kontinu wit the simplifikashunz by makin a lojikal substitushun of U or V for W dependin on the soun. Ve eliminatd dubl letrz, so ve shuld eliminat dubl U.

He goes on!

Teaching Jacob to read with all the exceptions to the rules and with some letters making the same sounds etc... it is crazy! But reading this "simplifid" language is a bit more CRAZY!
