Låtuk Alphabet

From UniLang Wiki

Låtuk uses a subset of the Nhängqäkupoqh alphabet with two additional letters. The consonant letters of the Nhängqäkupoqh alphabet were originally pictographs.

The letters are written from left to right, and every letter represents one phoneme.

Differences between Låtuk and Nhängqäkupoqh writing system:

• In opposite to Gukhükheth, Låtuk is written as it is pronounced rather than etymologically.
• The letters kh, nh, ph, q, qh, th are abolished.
• The letters ä, ö, ü are now pronounced è, e, i respectively.
• The letter rh is now pronounced h.
• Two additional letters are introduced: ð (Θ) and .

And how is Låtuk written now?

The real Låtuk alphabet is not included in Unicode, so I can only give approximations and the transcription used here:

U [u]: similar to U (with a hook on the right)
I [i]: similar to ശ
P [p]: similar to ⊥ (T upside down)
M [m]: A
V [v]: similar to ⊗
O [o]: Φ
E [e]: similar to ǂ
T [t]: C
N [n]: O
Z [z]: Ⴖ
Å [ɑ]: similar to U (with a hook on the left)
È [ɛ]: similar to ฃ
K [k]: H
NG [ŋ]: similar to P
GH [ɣ]: Π
R [r]: similar to M
L [l]: Ш
H [ɦ]: Ƨ
�? [ð]: similar to Θ
' [ə]: '

Note that words of Gukhükheth origin should be written as in Gukhükheth, which can create quite some confusion, since Gukhükheth is not written phonetically.
