Hello, I am getting back to work on the upcoming update, but before I do I wanted to post this guide to reading the lettering of Anglo-Prussia. This is the first step of many to eventually having the dialog mostly in anglo-prussian. The alphabet in Anglo-Prussian includes some letters without latin equivalent. These letters are represented with capital letters. This is okay because anglo-prussian in its native form does not have major or minor letters, ie everything is in "lower case." Here is a quick guide and some pronounciation rules as well as examples: English | A-P | A-P Latin | IPA a | α | a | - /ei/ á | ά | á | - /a/ æ | e | æ | - /ɛ/ b | β | b | - /b/ c | c | c | - /ʧ/ or /ç/ d | δ | d | - /d/ e | ε | e | - /i/ f | ф | f | - /f/ g | γ | g | - /g/ or /ʤ/ h | ϯ | h | - /h/ i | ι | i | - /ɪ/ j | ԓ | j | - /j/ or /ʤ/ k | ϟ | k | - /K/ l | λ | l | - /l/ m | μ | m | - /m/ n | ν | n | - /n/ o | ο | o | - /o/ ó | ό | ó | - /y/ p | π | p | - /p/ r | ρ | r | - /ɹ/ s | σ | s | - /s/ or /z/ sh | ϛ | S | - /ʃ/ t | τ | t | - /t/ th | θ | T | - /θ/ or /ð/ u | у | u | - /ə/ v | w | v | - /v/ or /w/ z | z | z | - /ʦ/ On top of this there are two types of vowels, hard and soft. The hard vowels are æ, i, and u. The soft vowels are a, á, e, o and ó. There are also three diphthongs, or vowel sounds made up of combinations of other vowels. They are: eu,εy - /iu/ (soft) oi,oι - /oɪ/ (hard) ie,ιε - /aɪ/ (hard) unless it is before an 'n' when it is /iɛ/ Consonants with two sounds differ in sound based after the preceding vowel: c,c - /ʧ/ after hard, as in the 'ch' in Chanukkah /ç/ after soft or as the first letter in a word, as in the 'ch' in Church g,γ - /ʤ/ after hard, as in the 'g' in College /g/ after soft or as the first letter in a word, as in the 'g' in Group s,σ - /s/ after hard, as in the 's' in Silence /z/ after soft or as the first letter in a word, as in the 'z' in Zebra v,w - /v/ after hard, as in the 'v' in Video /w/ after soft or as the first letter in a word, as in the 'w' in Wide The letter Jut, j or ԓ has two sounds based on the letter that follows it: /ʤ/ before hard, as in the 'j' in Judge /y/ before soft or as the last letter in a word, as in the 'j' in the German Junge Here is some practice Anglo-Prussian (in all three spellings):
