Ooooooookay, I got confused for a second before I realised that it's got Elian Script on it and not larlermorna. Quite honestly, I'd love to There is no standarising which letter makes which sound, I already made the system and posted my notes to jbotcan.org for all to see. Unless you can suggest some drastic improvement to the general system, it's already sound. I'll do a video sample tonight and post it to YouTube, then the link to jbotcan and the mailing list. However, I still don't believe that larlermorna, or any script, can and/or should replace Roman script as the default for Lojban. It alienates new learners and adds that much more of a learning curve. If we had a large body of speakers, or if we had a country with Lojban as the national language, that might warrant it. As it stands, I didn't design this for, nor do I desire it to be the default script for Lojban. Would I like to see it fall into common usage amongst lo certu tavla? Of course I would! I just don't want to add to any troubles of which we already have many.
