Why is the alphabet the same as the English alphabet? I mean, you're even using similar digraphs. How is pronounced?
"Reloshka" reminds me of the Mädëšk word which means "in this loving manner." o.O

Eccentric Iconoclast Why is the alphabet the same as the English alphabet? I mean, you're even using similar digraphs. How is pronounced?
"Reloshka" reminds me of the Mädëšk word which means "in this loving manner." o.OBecause it's based mostly on languages that use this alphabet. The only language it has any influence from that doesn't is Russian... and it has only a little from it (a few words, which are often modified in pronunciation, like slouve [слово] and glago [глагол]). The ch and sh are almost the same as each other, not as English, actually. The ch comes from French orthography (as in my mind this language sounds like French, though you have to keep in mind that I do not speak French, nor claim to) and makes the English-sh sound. However, when it's followed by a consonant, it makes the English ch sound, since this is my language and I just make it sound like whatever my brain says it should sound like (because clearly I am insane). So I needed something softer. That's where sh comes in. If it's not followed by a consonant, it's reeeeeeaally quiet. If it is followed by a consonant, it sounds like a regular sh/ch sound. shhhhhhh, zees eez a LAIBHRAREE! I'm debating a script... but really, I don't know. It would probably end up just being something to sub in as always-SH and always-CH and always-soft-SH and the like. I want to keep the vowels nice and confusing. Non-Frenchie's Revenge pirate . OH! J! I forgot. J is pronounced like the jjjjjj in French. Je ne parle pas français. zhzhzhzhzhzhzh. ʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒ? or ʃʒʃʒʃʒʃʒʃʒʃʒ? No, I just checked, it's ʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒʒ. biggrin (I'm sitting here saying it over and over again. It's a great deal of fun.)

What about "r"? "R" can be pronounced a ton of different ways. =/
I mean is it like the ugly American "r" or the softer European "r" or the Spanish "r" or the French back-of-the-thraot "r" or the Japanese trilled "r" or the extremely rolled Russian "r" or..... what? confused

I'm saying the English adaptation of the Roman alphabet, not the Roman alphabet in and of itself. It's more-or-less unusual for IE-based languages to have /w/ as a phoneme, for instance. Using both and also seems a bit odd; in French, for instance, is pretty much nonexistent, whereas, to my knowledge, German doesn't really use .

Using both and also seems a bit odd; in French, for instance, is pretty much nonexistent, whereas, to my knowledge, German doesn't really use . Admittedly, k and w are probably going to be thrown out... I should probably respell Reloshka. sad But I liiiiike it! German gets respelled a lot too... Like enda and nua-- "Ende" and "neue." N'aww. Gotta figure out how to spell it. Or use k more often. Reloshque? No, that'd be pronounced differently. Reloshqa? Still different. Grr. Maybe I have to change it after all sad No quiero~ erm, I mean, non kueru... wait~! HAHA! I WIN. quero would have a different sound. Qs eat Us. These are the Rules. Guero, too, would have a different sound. It would have to be like in Spanish--güero. And it's too ggggg. I don't want a g. I can keep it. HAH. Beatcha. I am ridiculous, nah? But w... I tend to not use w, no. *Gnaws on a stray w* I solemnly swear all the above cheating was accidental.

Relosca?
You could have /s/ go to in front of /k/. It would be an interesting phonotactic rule, and good languages often have interesting phonotactics. ninja
