Sweet, I'm glad you like it! Why not just momo and mimi for double minas and momomo and mimimi for triple minas? Actually I did first consider "momo", "mimi", "momomo", and "mimimi", but I thought that the use of the "a"s and the "h"s had a...

I suggest giving the full monzo, but bolding the 3-exponent, and eliding strings of more than 3 zeros. i.e. every prime after 13 looks like [ n m ... 1 >. Something like this then: 5 80/81 [ 4 -4 1 0 0 > 7 63/64 [ -6 2 0 1 0 > 11 33/32 [ -5 1 0 0 1 > 13 26/27 [ 1 -3 ... 1 > 17 4131/4096 [ -12 5 ......

I wonder if we should instead consider giving the the schisma diacritics a consonant (e.g. m or b) and no consonant for the minas Aw, man! If reexamining the schisma and schisminas is on the table, we can have some fun... or claw back a consonant from the many allowed for "j" (as you poin...

No. If you're willing to choose any of C G D A E to notate your 1/1, there's no reason to go outside of the range 400 Hz to 480 Hz for 1/1. That's ±10%. That's because the largest step between those nominals is a Pythagorean minor third (A:C or E:G), which is 27:32 = 1.185, and 480/400 = 1.2. You s...

Okay, but Magratheans are out of scope for now...

What did you think of my more serious proposal to use apostrophes to break double vowels, e.g. "mo'ovai" for

And of adding “sch” to the table for German “sh” sound, as long as we’re adding “tsh” for French “ch” sound.

Okay, it turns out I've got a little chunk of time before I have to get back to my day job, so while it's fresh in my head I'll try to dump this back out: It's a shame that ambiguous "j" sucks up so many consonant sounds. What if we start using vowel sounds? "ei" and "eo&quo...

However, since in Sagispeak the consonants always appear before an "a", and in these contexts "c" always makes /k/, it's not an issue. An interesting point. I wasn't aware of that rule. I agree it checks out. Does it apply in languages other than English, that use the Latin alph...

Ah ha! So that's what the hexadecimal character code was about. Well, I've gone over this thread and I have to say I'm a big fan of Sagispeak. The only thing I might like to change is the use of "k" as opposed to "c". Generally I prefer "k" because its less ambiguous, a...

Yes, it is. Note that we no longer use any "extended ASCII" characters, so there is no longer a short version for anything outside the Athenian single-shaft set. Sorry, what are the "extended ASCII" characters? I assumed they'd be in the Character Map but I'm not finding them. M...

Is the "Plain text shorthand" here an update to the "Mixed short ASCII representation" that appears in the outdated Sagittal-2 Character map ? I don't understand the application for either. The long-ASCII form requires more characters but is so intuitive. Anecdotally, I have yet ...
