| English
is a difficult language to read and write. |
| It
has 18 different vowel sounds but has more |
| than
130 ways of writing them. It has 21 |
|
consonants which overlap in sound; and which |
| can
have different sounds; and which modify |
| the
sounds of other consonants and vowels. Y |
|
can even be a vowel with different vowel |
|
sounds. |
| In
Logical English (LI) there are 18 different |
| unique
vowel sounds made by a single vowel or |
| a
pair of vowels. (See Vowels) |
| They
are always the same and are not modified |
| by
consonants or by position. |
| There
are 20 straight consonants (c is not |
| used,
except as 'ch') and 8 aspirated |
|
consonants (with an 'h'). |
| Each
is unique in sound, has one sound |
| only,
is not modofied by position or vowels. |
| No
accents or other devices are used, just the |
| normal
keyboard. |
| There
is a simple set of rules. (See Rules) |
| The
written language is usually a little shorter |
| than
standard English. |
| There
are some examples. (See Examples) |
| There
is a lexicon. ( See Lexicon) |
| There
are no contradictions. It is designed to |
| help
dislexics and learners of English but can |
| be
used anywhere. It is simple. Anyone can |
| read
or write it. Try! |
