Æ is a single letter, while the 'ay' sound in 'day' is definately a single sound.

Not quite.
Say 'I' really slowly. ah-ee.
It's two sounds.
Say 'day' really slowly deh-ee
It's two sounds.
I'm pretty sure that the 'ay' is already represented with the Spanish 'e'. If you pronounce 'peso', it has the same sound.
The 'д/Д'? I definitely agree!
Yeah, it's my fav letter of any alphabet.
Man, what accent do you have
Then again, I shouldn't talk x.xAnywho, could some please elaborate on "r" working as a vowel? I kind of get it, but not quite.
We could use the "Щ" from the Russian alphabet. It is pronounced like the "sh" in sheer. Also the "Ч" from Russian for "ch" as in chip.
Do you know any language other than English? A Latin language? If so, then you should understand what I meant.Yeah, it's my fav letter of any alphabet.

Wait, you pronounce 'day' as 'deh' like the 'e' in 'ted'? I pronounce it 'deh-ee'
If you don't, then you are completely wrong about 'peso'
Peso is 'p' as in 'pot', 'e' as in 'ted', 's' as in 'sock', and 'o' as in 'taco'.

X is 'ch' already, I used your suggestion (see the previous page's proposed consonants and vowels at the bottom). We need a separate letter for 'sh'
Eh, I don't think we should have any letters from Russian except for 'я', but that's not pronounced 'ya' as it is in Russian. The crazy geometric Cyrillic characters just don't look right with Latin characters. 'я' is okay because it's a version of the Latin 'R'.
However if there is a super overwhelming consensus that we should use one of the geometric Cyrillic characters we can go ahead and use it.

No, I pronounce the e in peso like the 'ay' in day.
Ah. Maybe the X with a diacritic?
Yes, I'm okay at Spanish, though out of practice. What I ment was are we talking the i with the r?
Eh, I pronounce peso with a long a as well..., I've never heard your pronounciation before.
Do you know Spanish?
Does Unicode even have an x with a diacritic?
This utterly confuses me. Did you learn Spanish only in its textual form? Are you pronouncing Spanish with English rules?
Vowel or consonant 'r'?
You know the rule in english that 'r' 'overtakes' the sound it's next to?
For the consonant 'r', it's like 'escribir'.
Are you pronouncing Spanish with English rules?
Fair enough. Through further searching i found the "Ş" which gives the "sh" sound an in 'show'.
Perhaps is this a difference between Spanish Spanish and Mexican/Other Latin American Spanish? Internet pronunciation guides are agreeing with me and wilcoxchar, though the one's I've found so far are all marked "Mexican male".
I've been taking Spanish classes for most of my life, so yes.
Like OAM said it's probably due to a regional variance.EDIT: Yes, the 'e' in pronombre is the same as the 'ay' in day.
Also, I'm not sure if there's unicode for an x with a diacritic.
Is the 'e' in 'pronombre' the same as 'ay' in your 'day'?
I say 'deh-ee', but you appear to say 'deh'.
I think we just say 'day' differently.I've been taking Spanish classes for most of my life, so yes.

Though I suggest we stop adding sounds before we have a 75 letter alphabet lets work with the few we have and move on to assigning each an individual symbol. I saw the list a few post back but I know a few more have been added.
If we need more sounds as the vocabulary gets created later on. We can add all types of `´º¨' around the letters of combinations of letters to make it work as we go along.
OMA47 the way you use r as a vowel is similar to the way you pronounce it in the words girl and bird. The "ir"sound in this word sounds more like a distorted "eh", which would be a vowel, than a combination of "i' and "r".
In this language a word written brd would sound similar to bird and a word written bírd would sound like beard.
