Consonants

Since there are not 24 ASCII consonants to choose from, the letter 'h' can be used as a consonant modifier where 'sh' would be considered a single letter. The letter 'h' may also be used between two vowels to stand-in for a syllable break.

The consonants are arranged visually, organized by loud / quiet and big / small:

Pronunciation

Non-American-English Sounds

• lh / ł: Think of it like an 'l', but your tongue doesn't touch the roof of your mouth, then pronounce like an 'h'. Alternatively, pronounce an 'sh' sound and slowly move your tongue away from the roof of your mouth.
• c: Move your tongue between the positions of 'l' an 'r' pronouncing as you go. Once in the middle, tap the roof of your mouth, similar to a click. Alternatively, try saying 'd' but with your tongue as far back in your mouth as you can while still hitting the roof of your mouth with your tongue.
• nh / ň: This may or may not exist in your dialect of English. Likely saying "uh-uh" will get you to make the glottal stop sound between the vowels. Alternatively, a short silence could approximate it.
• rh / ř: Once you can say lh / ł, this is the same but voiced. Alternatively, you can think of it as a g sound thats held out, or an r but in the back of your throat.
• rr: Long r can just be a held r, or you can roll it if you like and are able. Alternatively, just pronounce it twice.
• cc: Long c can just be a held c, or you can say it without the "clicking sound" / without tapping roof of your mouth.
• ll: Long l can just be a held l, or you can say it twice. Alternatively, may be differentiated by putting your tongue in a taco shape.
• lhh / łł: Long ł, may be pronounced twice or be blended with a k sound.
• rhh / řř: Long ř, may be pronounced twice, alternatively may roll the glotal r, or make a scoffing or growling sound.
• pf: Long p, similar to an f (halfway between p and f)
• bv: Long b, similar to a v (halfway between b and v)
