**proposal** Standard Galactican (language)
I'm working on a spoken language that uses the Standard Galactic Alphabet (SGA) as its writing system. Rather than simply writing English in SGA, I want to create a unique language inspired by languages like Japanese while remaining completely original.
Pronunciation
Every letter has one consistent sound.
Vowels
- A = ah (father)
- E = eh (bed)
- I = ee (see)
- O = oh (go)
- U = oo (food)
Consonants
Consonants are pronounced as they are in English, with a few rules:
- R is lightly rolled or tapped.
- G is always hard (go), never like "giant."
- C is not used (use K or S instead).
- Every vowel is pronounced. There are no silent letters.
Current grammar
Word order
The language follows Subject – Object – Verb (SOV) order.
Example:
«Mi ra pan ke eta.
As for me, (I) eat bread.»
Particles
- ra – Topic ("as for...")
- Mi ra = As for me...
- ke – Direct object
- Pan ke = Bread (object)
- na – Destination / to
- Tera na = To the planet
- di – Possession / of
- Mi di luma = My friend
- lo – With / together with
- Ti lo = With you

This is still an early concept, so I'd love to hear your suggestions, ideas, and feedback. I'm especially interested in thoughts on the grammar, particles, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
