Sinhalese, spoken only in Sri Lanka, naturally has some of these features: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinhala_alphabet 1. Fully phonetic 2. Syllables are formed by a logical and consistent system of vowel signs that can be attached to consonant characters 3. Uses pure vowels and largely un-accentuated except for some minor stress on the first syllable of words 4. Alphabet order is logical -- a grid arranged by tongue position and nasalization The biggest bad thing about the language: the formal grammar is very much latin-like, and equally difficult to master. Fortunately, the spoken version is largely grammar-less. Source: I speak it. |
