Why not just have the two? And why isn't Y a vowel? Allow me to explain. Take your a's, i's and your e's and consider all the words that they occur in. It doesn't really fucking matter what vowel you choose, it's the word that matters. Each vowel is pronounced in at least 3 different ways depending on the pronunciation. Same with o and u. So why the fuck not just have one vowel for aei and one for ou? Makes more sense to me. Langwidge is stoopay.:coffee:
Y is a vowel, surely? At least it is in my native alphabet... As for why we need five vowels, well, in my native alphabet there are 8, but for comprehension and communication purposes, I can see why we need to have more vowels than perhaps the average person finds reasonable. When it comes to nuances, I don't know. Two vowels altogether? Well I guess that could work, might be weird, but hey.. I don't know, I might be more inclined towards a double-vowel alphabet if I'd seen its practical application in real life beforehand. I reckon it's pretty good as it is but definitely needs some changes.
Why??? Why??? ummm you forgot Y! So why do we need six vowels? No clue other than I like that number better.
I think vowels are there for cosmetic purposes for words hahah. lOOk hOw prEttY thIs Is... ok im done being obnoxious.
for scrabble.. duh. and W is a sometimes vowel too.. W is used in representing some diphthongs (as in "cow") and to represent a monophthong in the borrowed words "cwm" and "crwth". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel
The letter you should be concerned about is the "C" It can almost always be replaced by a K or an S The only real use for the letter C is in the diagraph 'ch'
