Sorry for my recent absence, I've had a weird thing where it kind of feels like I have nothing to say - every time I want to post something I always reconsider and don't. I'm trying to break that with this.

Anyway, I've been playing around with an idea for a reorthographization for my idiolect of English (which is darn close to GA, but not quite). (Yeah, I know, so does everyone.) It's only notable for a couple of things, mostly that it marks all of the syllabic nasals/ /r\/ /etc.

And so it follows (standard orthographical <> doesn't work right):
/p/ p
/b/ b
/m/ m
/w/ w
/f/ f
/v/ v
/T/ IDK if I want to stick with th or do something more original/representative. (What that would be IDK.)
/D/ dh or something
/t_h/ t
/d/ d
/n/ n
/r\/ r
/4/ ŕ
/l/ l
/5/ ł
/j/ y
/s/ s
/z/ z
/S/ sh, maybe
/Z/ zh, maybe
/tS/ maybe ch
/dZ/ j
/k/ k
/g/ g
/N/ some kind of n (not ng, too ambiguous), provisionally ǹ
/?/ '
Syllabicity is marked with a dot below the letter (/n_=/ ṇ), though this may run into problems with the lack of certain characters with dots under them. It's omitted when no suitable character can be found.

/i/ í
/I/ i (or /i/ is i and /I/ is ì)
/M/ or /IM\/ (as far as I can tell one of those is what an English u is) u
/U/ ù
/e/ or /E/, whichever e
/7M\/ or /oM\/ (or whatever current o is) o
/@/ I'm leaning towards ë, but I don't quite like it
/V/ ó
/{/ ä
/A/ a

It probably doesn't account for a lot of sounds that would be in other people's dialects (at least according to the Wikipedia IPA for English page), so I'd like to see other people writing their dialects in it.

Samples:
frëm dhë Wikipídíë peij ón Íǹglish:

Íǹglish iz ë West Jṛmänik leiǹgwj dhä' dṿelpḍ ṇ Íǹglṇd dṛíǹ dhí Eiǹglo-Säksṇ erë. Äz ë rẓłt ṿ dhë militerí, ekṅómik, saiṇtifik, pḷiŕikł, ǹ kłchṛł influṇs ṿ dhí Briŕish Empaiṛ dṛíǹ dhí 18th, 19th, ṇd ṛlí 20th senchṛíz, ṇd ëv dhë Yunaiŕḍ Stei's sins dhë mid 20th senchṛí, i' häz ḅkëm dhë líǹgwa fŕanka in mení parts ṿ dhë wṛld.

Wow, that's kind of hard to read. Anyway, I'd like to see this text rendered into other people's idiolects!

Tildes represent nasalised vowels, ń represents what I can best call a "nasalised flap".

I seem to talk weird.

Thanks, guys! Interesting. (Several characters in Aeetl's don't show up for me *grumbles about browser and encoding*)

Sorry, I'm just going to use the letters you first came up with. I'm also going to randomly capitalize. And my computer doesn't seem to have /n/ with a grave accent, so I used a dot. (>_<)

iṅglish iz ë wes chṛmänik läṅgwij dhä’ ḍvelëpt ṅ iṅglënd d(ë)ṛiṅ dh'äṅglo-säksṅ erë. ‘äz ë rizólŕ ó dhë milëterí, ‘ekënamik, sáintifik, póliŕikólṅ̩ ṅ kólchṛól ‘ĩfluns ëdhë Briŕish Empáër d(ë)ṛiṅ në eitin', náintín', 'ṅ ṛlí tweníeth senchṛíz, en ó dhë yùnáiŕid steits sins dhë mid tweníe' senchṛí, iŕäz bíkóm ŕë liṅgwë fräṅkë m mení parts'dhë w(ë)rld.

/á/ represents [a], as I don’t generally pronounce a- head diphthongs with [ɑ/A]

The tilde /i/ is nasal.
