Alphabet, phonetics and pronunciation

Sempo'gwi's alphabet consists of 24 letters, as follow:
A B D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T U V W X Y Z

Each letter represents ONE phoneme, that never changes.
Note: Where it's needed, I'll use IPA's phonetic notation, in case your browser can't show the symbols, they'll be followed by X-SAMPA.
X-SAMPA and IPA conversion table: http://www.let.rug.nl/~kleiweg/L04/Tutorial/xsamchart.gif

a: /a/
b: /b/
d: /d/
e: /e/
f: /f/
g: /g/

Note: "(apr.)" reffers to phonetical approximation.

Under reforms

Er... I'll stop posting for a while (didn't I do this already?!), because I'm reforming some grammar points on Sempo'gwi. At the same time I think this isn't really goodm I think I SHOULD, because I'm the creator of this language.
All the posts will be deleted, and news are going to be posted when I'm done.

Introduction

Hello! In this blog I'm going to write notes about a language I'm creating. It's called "sempo'gwi", what means "language of simplicity". It's name already tells us something, uh? It's a SIMPLE language XD. By now, it's grammar is not finished yet, but I hope that creating this blog helps me with it.
