Affricative D's and T's in Inglish

In Inglish, the letters ȶ and ᶁ are used to represent affricative versions of t and d that occur when these sounds are followed by a yod sound (/j/), altering their usual pronunciation.

1. The Letter ȶ:

    ȶ represents the "ch" sound that occurs when the letter t is softened by a yod.

    This affrication typically happens in words like feature, nature, and situate, where the t is pronounced as /t͡ʃ/.

    Examples (Modern English to Inglish):
        feature → fieȶure
        nature → nâȶure
        situate → siȶuete

2. The Letter ᶁ:

    ᶁ represents the "j" sound that occurs when the letter d is softened by a yod.

    This change is common in words like procedure and educate, where the d becomes /d͡ʒ/.

    Examples (Modern English to Inglish):
        procedure → procíᶁure
        adjective → aᶁetif
        educate → eᶁuqete

Phonological Role:

    Both ȶ and ᶁ represent affricates, where the original t or d sound combines with a yod to create a new pronunciation.
    These letters capture the natural pronunciation shifts in words that have evolved under the influence of the yod, helping to distinguish the modified sounds.
