Base 5

Base 5 is a vowel system that was considered on the Vowel Ballot.

Proposal
The System was proposed saying: ''There are five vowels: letter A/a, sound /a/ (with allophone /ɑ/), letter E/e, sound /ɛ/ (with allophone /e/), letter I/i, sound /i/ (with allophone /ɪ/), letter O/o, sound /o/ (with allophone /ɔ/). letter U/u, sound /u/ (with allophone /ʊ/). Reasoning: simplicity in writing and pronouncing. There are no diphthongs (simplicity) There are no semivowels (simplicity) There are no long/short vowels - the length does not matter (simplicity) Reference language: close to what Spanish offers as vowels''.
