I was very bored today. I give you: Simple English! The spelling version of English designed to be.. more simple? It only works with the right accent/inflection whatever. Sample text copy-paste: Sympel Yŋglyʃ ålfebät yz a wa üv spälyŋ Yŋglyʃ wrds yn a kensystänt wa. Mäni Yŋglyʃ wrds ar späld yn kenfîuzyŋ was, wyþ symelr kömbynaʃens üv lätrs îuzd fr väri dyfrent sounds. Kömbynaʃens süč ez "ough" yn Yŋglyʃ hev ovr syx prenünsiaʃens, fr ygzåmpel. Yŋglyʃ spälyŋ: "though, through, rough, cough, thought, bough" Sympel Yŋglyʃ spälyŋ: "ðo, þru, rüf, kohf, þaht, bou" EDIT: Simple in a "one thing only has 1 pronunciation" way, not a "small number of letters" way. It's not good at that.
