"Rant alert: (this might come off as aggressive lol I'm just asking questions): phonology, why are there allophones that contradict with each other when there are minimal pairs in the language? Why is the letter Eng used when it isn't on any keyboards at all? Why are there so many diphthongs, with annoying minimal pairs like AO vs AW. if you want a large diphthong inventory, just use the vowels A E and O and add -i or -u to the end, or i- and u- to the beginning, then add IU and UI. that's the same thing i did for my unnamed IAL, and it keeps the diphthong count high while preserving recognizability. Why are there symbols in the OA-like alphabet that are distinguished only by length? that will just make syllable blocks and cursive unreadable. why don't you just add a line through A and O to indicate length, which would fix all of these issues? Why are the syllable endings so restrictive? Why is the dictionary just i giant list of all possible syllables?"
