你们好(Nǐmen hǎo)!
ive come up with a new idea for a conlang again! it uses three letters, and six sounds.
they are r, o, and g.
i came about this idea today in physics while i was playing with my calculator(its a graphing calculator). we were using trigonometry today and i had the menu up where i could use the degree symbol.
the menu looks like this: 0 r g
 so that got me to thinking, "hey, i could make a conlang with these!"

Bizzarre! How does it work? Does each represent both a vowel and a consonant? Do you thus have a very strict syllable structure?

no theres only 2 vowels sounds, written as o and ó. o represents the sound [o] and ó represents the sound [a].
there is also g, gg, r, and rr.
g-[g]
gg-[k]
r-[r\]
rr-[r]
also, it uses and apostrophe(') when it is nessesary to seperate consonants (ie: instead of gg g'g to make a longer [g] sound, or g'gg to use both [g] and [k])
it will deffinately be using suffixes and affixes, so the words can get quite long.
also, the number system is based on 5, and is similar to how japanese makes numbers 10+ so number words can also get quite long.
(ex:1991-goggoggógog'gógoggoggog)
ill post a better explantion of it in anothe post, at the time i did this one a thunderstorm hit and i had to get off quick. =)

XD Sounds like so much fun. But I think you're cheating! Having gg and g is exactly the same as having k and g, it's just a different way of writing it ...

i treat gg, rr, oo, and ó as just spelling marks, not actual letters so in a way it isnt cheating =P

Why not also use regular vowels and do something like

a^o,r,g
e^o,r,g
i^o,r,g
o^o,r,g
u^o,r,g

I would use the degree symbol as an s, the rad symbol as r and two rads for trilled r, then grad symbol for g, and two for k.
