LINGOJAM . . . the easy English
PROBLEM -- So many things make learning English difficult and confusing. Its grammar structure, its spelling, meanings and rules that contradict existing rules are difficult to master.
English is, inherently difficult to learn.
ANNOYING PROBLEM - REMOVE CRAZY SPELLING - 'ng' / 'ng-g' and Uppercase 'Q'
​
MAKING EACH UNIQUE SOUND HAVE ONE SINGLE WAY OF BEING REPRESENTED.
​
The 'ng' as in finger/singer/ringer - and the 'ng-g' where the hard 'g' is sounded after the 'ing' sound. This is heard a lot in the UK (Liverpool, Black Country, Norfolk, Midlands, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, the North East et al) and in the USA (Staten Island, Long Island, New York). Let us know if you hear this anywhere else.
SOLUTION: There are only 2 sounds.
1 The first with a 'soft' almost not there sound, as in 'sing' and 'bring.' This sound is shown as, siI.
​
2 The second is with a 'hard' sound, as heard in 'finger.'
This sound is shown as, siN.
​
Can you spot the difference in this character? It's just a dot under the left upright of the kinda 'n' shaped letter.
​
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE SECOND SOUND - NG-G:
​
EXAMPLES
iN Is the singer English?
​
Qiz dE siNE QiNliS?
​
​
oN That man is wrong.
​
dat man iz roN
​
​
aN Put my coat on the hanger.
​
puut mF cGt on dE haNE
​
​
eI Do you know Englelbert?
​
doo yoo nG QeNElbUt?

SOLUTION: CAPITAL LETTERS - To show capital letters, at the beginning of a sentence, or for someone's name, in English, we usually use an uppercase or capital letter.
​
When you think about it, uppercase characters do not perform much of a job. They tell us a new sentence is starting but we can see this because of the 'full-stop' or 'period' at the end of each sentence.
​
Most of us like to have the initial character of our names capitalised, and also our countries and cities, and so on.
​
In Lingojam; there is no need. However, if you prefer to have capitals you can use the uppercase Q to indicate this.
​
​
3 Capital letters are generally not used in Lingojam.
The first character in a new sentence, or the name of a city, or someone's name; can be shown, thus;
Go to Paris on Sunday, John. Buy me some French perfume.
QgG too Qparis Gn QsundA, QjGn. QbF mee sum QfrenC pUfyoom.
