Weel, you just did diphtongs there. And I don't think there is a language that is just made of diphtongs. Btw, you have to make phonology before the representation in the latin alphabet, because if you don't do that you'll probably just come up with sounds that don't appear in yopur language, or weird one that you don't know even how to pronounce. I would also advise to don't make strange representations, because very much people will be confuse about that. It's very better to do your own alphabet and let the latin alphabet in peace. 3nodding

It could be that her language actually LACKS sounds such as the normal a, i, u, e, o. Also, while I tend to prefer romanization for ease of learning at first, plenty of people like to use their own alphabet--at least hers is made up of letters that can be typed without having people install a font or making the posts image-heavy. Mine requires installing a font or that I either write or type, then post images. emo

However, using the kit as a sort of guiding structure for organization of your notes, etc., is not a bad thing at all. smile

I was in middle school before I realized that the long I sound was actually a dipthong--and that was when I was working on old Kintarasesa. surprised

A dipthong is a vowel that's actually made of two sounds. The long "i" in English is such an example, being made of a short "a" followed by a short "i"
Another example is the "oi" sound in, say, "oil."
It's strange for languages to only have dipthongs and not single vowels, but there's nothing explicitly wrong with doing so.

I'd really recommend looking up the zompist link that Sano posted; phonology is fun and saves a lot of trouble later when you finally have to figure out why you can't pronounce half of your words.

I think I'm going to scratch this conlang, it doesn't feel right, and I need some more practice. :S

Please tell me what scripts you tried to use though! I recognise Russian and I think Greek and Arabic...I want to know because you used them beautifully together. surprised

I still need more practise too. I still don't know what else I need to think about besides simple things like nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs...

§ ∂ Which are math symbols. Don't know what they're for though. XD

I think he/she just used the oddest looking characters findable, and mashed them into an alpabet. At least thats what it looks like.
