Yeah like not at allll lol. I guess I didn’t think about like, obviously different accents would be a problem for an alphabet like this? But on the other hand, if everyone just spelled it their own way, that doesn’t seem like it’d be too hard to parse regardless
exactly. in this case, uniformity isn’t goal, but accurate representation of what is being said.
@2910000 has a different accent from me and it comes across in his writing, but hasn’t stopped me from understanding. and i have fun reading things in his accent now. XD
Oh wow yeah, that’s actually really cool! As long as it’s not any harder to learn, that actually seems better than how we currently write. Everybody’s unique voice comes through!
so i’m still left in agreement, that i need to treat 𐑦 as /ɪ/ only.
I was going to try and play Devil’s advocate on this, but looking at the IPA example words you shared, I’d be inclined to write all those with 𐑰. That makes it hard to argue against this!
I wonder if there are any words pronounced with /i/ that would seem more natural with 𐑦 than 𐑰
edit and FINALLY, in QUIKSCRIPT, the revised version of Shavian, he specifies 𐑦 as ONLY /ɪ/, ‘ih.’ for me, that settles that! XD
This is really interesting, it feels a bit like we’re retracing his steps here!

i’m continuing to look into this.
so, IPA lists i as such:
and that’s consistent with what we expect.
but then i don’t know what’s the difference with 𐑰.
Shavian site shows /ɪ/~/i/ for 𐑦, but those are two different sounds, the ‘ih’ and the ‘ii’ respectively.
so yeah, in order to disambiguate, i’d need 𐑦 to be either one or the other, but it can’t be both and can’t overlap with the sound for 𐑰.
so i’m still left in agreement, that i need to treat 𐑦 as /ɪ/ only.
sorry i keep repeating this, but it bothers me too. XD

Yesss, by the person who like sorta invented all this, right?? That definitely cinches it for me too
yep! same guy!
