    Default Al Bhed

    Do any of you talk a little or alot of Al Bhed? If you do, how do you speak it? Do you say it clearly or slurred. Do you use English phonetics or foreign ones? Do you have special ways to say the vowels (including 'y')?

    Here are my personal rules:

    Spoken sharp, fast, and at normal volume.

    Vowel Pronunciation
    +-+-+-+-+-
    1. 'A' = ä

    2. 'E' = ë or â (which ever flows better)

    3. 'I' = ê

    4. 'O' = ô

    5. 'U' = û

    6. 'Y' - multiple rules
    ~1. y = ê
    ~2. y___ = ê
    ~3. __y_ = ï or ê
    ~4. __yh = silent
    ~5. yh__ = ï
    ~6. hy__ = hï

    7. Vowel-H -- Short Vowel

    8. Vowel-H-Vowel -- Vowel sound, H sound, Vowel Sound

    9.Double/Triple/Quadruple/Quintuple.. Vowels
    Vowels are slurred:

    Examples:
    Memories / Sasuneac - Sah-SOO'naek
    Owies / Ufeac - OO-faek
    +-+-+-+-+-
    Consanant Rules
    +-+-+-+-+-
    1. Double/Triple/Quadruple/Quintuple... Consanants

    Consanants are slurred:
    Examples:
    School / Clruum - Kl~oom'
    Anthropomorphic / Yhdrnubusunbrel - Ihderr'noo'boo'soon'BRAEL
    (I know that is a weird word but it gets to point across)
    +-+-+-+-+-
    Nouns
    +-+-+-+-+-
    1. Regular nouns are translated
    Example: cookie / luugea - loo'GA'uh

    2. Proper nouns are not translated
    Example: Sin / Sin - Sihn'

    3. Specific nouns are not translated but pronounced in the dialect.
    Example: Fiend / Fiend -Fyaend'
    Algebra / Algebra - Al'ge'BRUH
    I want to see your rules too!:twocents:
