This is my prototype spelling system.  The general idea behind it is to change the original spelling
as little as possible, to use the pre-existing English pronunciation rules as much as possible, and to
avoid the use of  accent marks that are difficult to produce with an American keyboard.  Often a
logically spelled word like "mite" can replace the illogically spelled synonym "might."  The goal is
for each spelling to have one possible pronunciation and each sound to have only one possible
spelling.  


A.
A alone: always short A as in, cat, pan, map
AE: long A used only in middle of a word, thus pertaining>pertaening,
maintained>maentaend, crazy>craezee
A-CONSONANT(S)-E: long A used only at the end of a word as in, mate, pare, came, fail>fale,
 main>mane
AY, at the end of a word, bay, may, tray
AH, a in bah, thus father>fahther, arm>ahrm, balm>bahlm
AU, a similar sound but more closed as in taut, caution, autism.  Remains unchanged in this pronunciation.

Used only in ch, never as s.

D.

E.
E alone: always short E, pet, bender, elk
EE: long when in the middle or end of a word, lee, meet, tree, seen
VOWEL-E: changes the vowel to the to the long sound, a>ae,  e>ee,  i>ie, o>oe,
u>ue.  
VOWEL-CONSONANT(S)-E: also changes vowel to long sound.
pale, yule, pine, mete, wild>wilde, kind>kinde, milled>milde

F.
No change, replaces ph and sometimes gh, thus: enough>enuf, pheonix>feenix  

G.
Hard only as in, gut, game, get, gimp, guitar>gitahr, guild>gild
Soft G is replaced with J.

H alone: as in hat, herd, hate, Hannah

TCH: following a vowel as in watch, pitch, catch>ketch
TH: as in thin, three, thank
DH replaces voiced th thus, wedher, dhen, dhis, dhuh

I.
I alone: short as in pig, lit, sin, mink, wind
IE: long I at the begining of a word, thus, icicle>iesicle, island>ieland
Long in the middle of a word or at the end of a word uses Y thus, pi>py, tie>ty,
octopi>oktoepy, lie>ly, mighty>mytee,
I-CONSANANT(S)-E: long I at end of word, desire, mite, lime, mind>minde,
 mild>milde, wind(to place on a spool)>winde, filed>filde
The pronoun I remains I.
 
J.
J replaces all soft G sounds, gin>jin, large>larj, page>paje
JH: used for rare softer sound mirage>murahjh, beige>bajhe

L., M., N.

OI: as in oink, boil, void in the middle of a word only
OO: as in look, never as in zoo, thus, book, rook, BUT, put>poot, zoo>zue, loooney>lueny
OU: in the middle of a word as in sound, mount, BUT fowl>foul, sewn>soun
OW: at the end of a word as in cow, now, sow, bow(boats), BUT tow>toe,
bow(for arrows)>boe

P., Q., R.

U alone: always short as in, cup, punt, rut, dhuh, under
UH: short sound at the end of a word thus, the>dhe*, fella>felluh, quota>quoetuh
UE, long u in the middle or at the end of a word, muetahlate, proecuerment, cue
U-CONSONANT-E consonant e, long u as in cute, tune, duke
OU see O.

V.
No changes.

W.
WH and WR are retained when they are pronounced slightly differently than H or R alone.  Also see OW.

X.
As in fix, lax, fox, but not as a z sound, thus xylene>zielene, xylophone>zyloefone

Y.
Only as a consonant as in yes, yelloe, yam
Also long I in the middle of a word, see I.  

Z.
Replaces initial x as above and voiced s, thus, tiimz, cahrz, palz, rize, size

Notes:
Consonants only doubled in the middle of a word where they comprise separate syllables as in petting as
 in sillabul>siillahbul, communicate>kommuenicate.

Double consanants not making separate syllables dropped thus, killed>kild, dropped>dropt, mess>mes,
 mitt>mit, well>wel

The>dhe.  The word "the" the only word pronounced like that in English and I propose only changing the
consonants and not the E just to keep things simple and to avoid typing four letters to make "dhuh."  If one
wants to specify the American pronunciation of enphasis where the long E sound is used such as in the
sentence, "That is the car." meaning, "That is the particular car in question." would be spelled, "Dhat iz
dhee car."  

I like the short to long change generally using the vowel-E or vowel-consonant(s)-E for the long sound
as it is the most commonly used way of spelling the sound now.
