Bgh:Code
The city for conlangs
This code is used to "gibberify" english words to base a new root word on. Please avoid borrowing words through it, and suggest new root words on the talk pages.

- Silent letters are EVIL. We don't use them. If a letter should be silent, it should be completely removed from the word, after gibberification. This is the most important rule of all, due to the sheer evilness of silent letters! Don't confuse this with when a letter is used to alter anothers sound!
- Please note that per-word exceptions of rules are always possible.
- After converting the words from english, to this code, you will arrive at the base version of the word. This is modified before making it an official Bleghish word. This usually means shortening it to an acceptable size.
Remember that this is all subject to change at any time, and in some cases completely change overnight.
