"It's time the language authorities in Republic and Kingdom started listening to beginners in Talossan, as well as potential students of the language, and propose a solution which reduces the complexity and arbitrariness of the accents-making it easier to learn and easier to use."

--Diarmuid Crovâ

[Hans-Jürgen von Knappe]

The use of "Phonetic Symbols" could be the first step for an international simplification.

[Sir C. M. Siervicül]

S:reu Crovâ's original complaint was about the characters Þ and ß. Acceptable substitutes for these characters already exist - "tg" and "ss," respectively. There's also "th" for ð. That leaves only ç and the vowel accents. We can talk about reforming the accents to make them a little more regular and predictable, but that won't really help with the problem of which S:reu Crovâ originally complained - not being able to type in el glhetg on a standard keyboard without memorizing weird key combinations, etc. I don't think the old German workaround of "oe" for ö, etc. will work for Talossan.

[King John]

Qët me zispiaça sînt aciînts qi afectent ni la pronunçaziun ni la proposiziun dels mocts à qët os apiarent. Oscå, eu vëladreu pevarë zesterminar, ûnambiguösmînt, come els mocts scriuts fossent estarë pronunçats. És despiçéu la "-ë" sufixat à l'infinitïu dels vîrbs ûnreguláes.

— John Woolley, UrN

[Hooligan]

Agreéu avetz el cnec'ht. Quând që se ladintschiçar, els aciînts nümerös sînt las austaclâs pü grülts. Neviens desira úçar (eda misúçar) 'n aciînt és riscar estarë miscumprencat.

Másmînt, schi els aciînts actuálmînt asigürent niþil -- ni 'n ziscriminataziun da mocts altreux -- és schi estadrent ostats sânc afectînd à l'aprendençâ dels mocts steçéux, agreéu që povent (és fossent) serent removeschti.

Els aciînts utzís (come aciînts që indicatevent emfasiçù på 'n sülavál particulár) fossent retáinînds, da c'horsicâ, más schi el moct "që" pût estescù spelat "qe" sânc afectînd à la pronunçaziun eda l'aprendençâ (parç që non isch iñen altreu moct "qe"), aglhôrc Talossán serà pü fáþil -- és mïus teriglhamáintsch -- à aprendar és úçar.

Për exampál, aici isch el post da S:reu Woolley sânc els aciînts:

Qet me zispiaça sint aciints qi afectent ni la pronunçaziun ni la proposiziun dels mocts a qet os apiarent. Osca, eu veladreu pevar zesterminar, unambiguosmint, come els mocts scriuts fossent estar pronunçats. Es despiçeu la "-ë" sufixat a l'infinitiu dels virbs unregulaes.

Penséu që en isch pü fáþil à lirar (és taipar!) -- és isch pronunçat acurat el mismeu (non?).
