Reformed English attempts to provide an easy system for writing English exactly as it sounds. Naturally, English has many dialects and it is not practical to provide a perfectly phonetic system. Reformed English orthography intends to give English a simplified writing system in the same vein as other germanic langauges.
Below are the general sounds made by each letter or letter combination in Reformed English orthography. More detailed rules are provided, but — in general — just write like you speak. There are no correct spellings in Reformed English orthography. If you are understood as a native speaker, then your written English will be understood as well.
