[lojban-beginners] Proposal for Katakana Lojban orthography.
I've secretly wanted to do this for a long time, and last night I finally got around to it. The following is my proposal for a Lojban orthography using Katakana. The example is the {le fasnu} example used to show the various Lojban orthographies at http://arj.nvg.org/lojban/orthography.html
(Note, you need to have Japanese fonts installed to see it all correctly. The specific font name is "SimSun".)
Proposal for Katakana orthography
In keeping with the practice in nihongo of having no
spaces, all {denpabu} are required. This also means one is required
immediately prior to a selbri.
With a few exceptions, katakana are used as normal, so
for example kakne is カクネ.
All 'u' kana are pronounced without the 'u' sound, unless followed by ｳ,
as in nu: ヌウ.
Any 'CuV' is pronounced as 'CV', as in denpa: デンパ
or ヅエンプア.
ｼ is
pronounced {cy.}, and followed by a vowel or 'y' kana, as in cusku:
シウスクウ
or シュスクウ.
To
write {si}, use スイ.
ジ is
pronounced {jy.} and follows the same rules as シ,
as in djica: ヅジイシャ.
To
write {zi}, use ズイ.
フ is
{fy.}, and follows the same rules as シ,
as in frili: フリリ″.
To
write {.y'u}, use ハウ.
ワ is
pronounced {vy.}, and followed by a vowel, as in vu: ワウ.
The 'r' kana with “ is pronounced 'l', as in lo: ラ″.
The 'k' kana with º is pronounced {xy.} as in xrula:
クºルウラ″ア.
ヲis
pronounced {.y.}
An example:
レ″フアスヌウ
レ″フオンカºシュ。サンガ。イラ″。アリ″ス。ゴイコハフラチラ″ヘヂハウレ″ヌウシパシュレ″フオンカº。イコハケルロ″ガンセル″ショイ。アリ″ス。イミヅラ″。リク。イアホドカンロリ″ハウ。イル″ウショイドイ。リク。イ。イアミカンロ。イアホドゴヒリ″ウ。イル″。イア。イミヅジイシャロ″ヌウヅジウノレ″ヌドバカンサミレ″グウスタケワアンシイサンミシャラ″。ゼヅジエヅ。ポイバル″ワイジイブニ。イアホミホテチグニリ″ハウ

I appreciate any and all critiques and suggestions regarding this proposal.
