I'm making a language!

@Szeth_Pancakes Oh this is cool. Have you heard of the IPA? It's the internationally recognized and standardized chart of all sounds languages make, sorted by where and how in the mouth it's pronounced.  Using it would really help clarify how stuff is said. For example, this line:
O = space (ah) - really, kind of a blend between “ah” and “uh”
Would be easily clarified down to O = /ɤ/, which is a vowel sound between /ɑ/ and /ʊ/ which roughly correspond to "ah" and "uh"
It obviously wouldn't help with nonhuman sounds, but still.

Thanks! I have heard of it, but it didn’t occur to me to use it for this (though I’m not sure why :P)

I’ll update the pronunciations with these. (later; I just woke up)
