If you had to design the 27th letter of the alphabet what would it look like?

I was thinking something classy like a nice sideways S

and it would be pronounced like a throaty “hooooaaah” kind of sound which I think is like the opposite of the the very mouthy and sibilant sssssssss sound.

Backwards L i reckon

It would be pronounced like an L and the lowercase would also be l because English is the sort of language where nobody would question that isn’t it

yeah that’s fair, i’m pretty sure in like medieval times s was spelt like th or something or other to that effect

Pronounced “chaaaaaaahhhh”

We need one of those double dotters üäë. Maybe double dot underneath a backwards S.

I think that might be too complicated

All of the simple ones are taken

Upside down J

it’s starting to look that way isn’t it


Looks like a baby with a tuft of hair

good letter though, I’d be fine with that

I feel like english needs to swap out th as in that and th as in throat for δ and θ. A letter for ng and zh would be good as well. Can get rid of x, q and c, nobody needs those.

I can see where you’re coming from but that’s a pretty radical change!

It’s pronounced “ngd”
