I didn't know what to post about in the UL blog. But I have thought of a topic I've been working on and this seems a pretty good place to post it.
I have been working on an alphabet for my dialect, Andalusian, based on the Arabic script, but not with purely Arabic letters because there are a lot of sounds we have and MSA doesn't.
With Latin letters it's pretty common to re-establish their phonemic value, but with Arabic ones it's not so common, hence I have tried to keep actual values of the letters.
First I will expose the phonemes of Andalusian. Each row are the different sounds for the same phoneme (I mean, there is no phonemic difference between the two sounds of the same row).
VOWELS
[a]
[e]
[i]
[o]
[u]
CONSONANTS
[p]
[b] [β]
[t]
[d] [ð]
[k]
[g] [ɣ]
[m]
[n] [ŋ]
[ɲ]
[r]
[ɾ]
[f]
[θ] [s]
[ʃ] [tʃ]
[ʝ]
[h] [x]
[l]
[ʎ]
I think I'm not forgetting any.
The goal is to assign an Arabic letter to each row.
