The alphabet was based on the Latin alphabet used in English. Franklin modified the standard English alphabet by omitting the letters c, j, q, w, x, and y, and adding new letters to explicitly represent the open-mid back rounded and unrounded vowels, and the consonants sh, ng, voiced th, and voiceless th. It was one of the earlier proposed spelling reforms to the English language. The alphabet consisted of 26 letters in the following order:Other English phonemes are represented as follows:/hw/ is represented as hu (as in huɥi for why)./aɪ/ is represented as ɥi (as in ɥiz for eyes)./aʊ/ is represented cɩu (as in hcɩus for house)./dʒ/ is represented dɦ (as in edɦ for edge)./eɪ/, at the time more probably [eː~ɛː], is represented as ee or e (as in leet for late)./ɛər/ is represented as er (as in ker for care)./ɜːr/ and /ər/ are represented as ɥr (as lɥrn for learn)./iː/ is represented as ii or i (as in ſtriim for stream)./ɔɪ/ is represented cɩɥi (as in distrcɩɥi for destroy)./ɔːr/ is represented cɩr (as in or)./ɔər/, at the time separate, is represented or (as in kors for course)./tʃ/ is represented tɦ (as in tɦit for cheat). /ʒ/ is represented zɦ (as in zɦ or mezɦɥr).Unstressed vowels are generally represented by the letters used to represent their stressed equivalents."@en }
