Here's the preposition again. I PMed all CÚG members with a copy as well.
The Talossan language has historically been full with eclectic diacritical markings, the circumflex, tilde, bolle, cedilla. However, historically, one important diacritical was briefly among the members of the diacriticals that remain today- the caron.
One of the distinctivce features of the Talossan language is it’s frequent “shushing” sound, causing it to sound, in part, like a Slavic language.
Sadly, this phonological sound is represented in a number of different ways:
• The final –x on –eux endings
• The tripthong “sch”
• The archaic dipthong “sh”
• The initial sound of the tripthong “s-ch”
• The letter combination "schtsch"
• The letter combination "schti"
• The verb ending "-rh”
• Various locations in all future tense verbs
•Various locations in words
Similarly, unnecessary complications arise with the several "sch" combinations and "sch" deriviatives such as "schtsch," "sc'h," "s'ch," and "s-ch." Several of these letter combinations do not possess the "sh" (TPA symbol) sound) sound, but due to their similarities to other "sch" letter combinations, it is easy to assume the do.
1. Change all the "sch" letter combinations and several sounds and replace them with š or s with cedilla
•"s'ch" changes to sk
•"s-ch" changes to šch or (s with cedilla)ch
•"schtsch" changes to štš or (s with cedilla)t(s with cedilla)
•"schti" changes to šti or (s with cedilla)ti
•All other sounds change to š or (s with cedilla) in all parts of speach except verbs and the following exceptions:
-eux endings
-all sounds in verb conjugations and endings remain the same, but any other sounds found in those words change to š or (s with cedilla)
Examples:
Ex.1Ça füt üna xhešciun intzereçind àl šula. – It was an interesting semester at school.
Ex.2Muituex cumplacaziuns reiešarha dal cervixha. – Many complications will result from the surgery.
•Note, the sound on the –eux ending and the –rh- of the future tense verb remain the same, yet the “sch” letter combination inside the verb changes.
La Renaišença Talossan iš ün parti political qualsevol iš bastant liveral. – The Talossan Renaissance is a political party which is quite liberal.
•Note, the sound found within the word Renaixença has been changed to reflect the new orthography.
The benefits of such a change are dramatic. Not only is the orthography changed, with a simplified and standarised form for all sounds, but it also improves Talosson phonology, as it is easier to identify sounds upon sight.
Humbly submitted,

Note: the board is not accepting the "s with cedilla" so the š and the "s with cedilla" will remain in the proposal.
