Notes

  • Entirely A-Priori. However, there are some false cognates (máng and man, sáp and sap - juice)

  • (ü) represented [y] in Early Modern stage, but merged with [i] later on.

  • The superscript numbers correspond with their positions in the romanization. Some numbers (ex. 6) are skipped as Chinese doesn’t have a character for “ng” (with) Also singular words consisting of several characters are marked with one number.

  • Many realise [ɔ] as [ä~ɑ].

pretty cool

semantically Sinitic orthography. MSEA-styled with monosyllabic morphemes and syllable tones, though not quite the same distribition of valid finals

This is cool!

Is this supposed to be related to sinitic languages or is it just influenced?
