It would be far more consistent with the pronunciation of other similar words.

    R fully becomes a semi vowel same as U to W or I to Y, several grammar words get Shavian style abbreviations for brevity, and where french has accents, spanish has the ñ, and german has umlauts, the expanded english vowels have single dots the way lower case i already does.

        IPA is less readable, also this is an orthographic alphabet, the true letter count is much smaller, and it actually gets even smaller if you use the “sloppy” version, which is basically just grabbing an Alphabet language Gboard for þ ð ŋ and ſ, using ue oe and ae as needed, and using u o i e a as you would their dotted (or undotted in i’s case) counterparts and just hoping context makes clear what the literal text doesn’t necessarily.

          You designed this for GBoard?

          That explains it, I guess…

            Would you believe me if I told you that the dot letters were actually what made up the majority of what isn’t in the keyboard normally?

      Went through the whole thing expecting to speak German, was very disappointed.
