          That a new way of speaking ? I am not English native. If I didn’t had the image as reference I wouldn’t be able to understand. I am curious, last time I seen something similar was when we were 1447 speaking.

            Here’s a few.

            • ŋ is contracting “-ing”
            • ð “th[e]”
            • ç “ch”
            • 🇹🇭 Thailand [flag]
            • 年 year
            • hu who
            • wld would

            I can contract the post more, but I felt this was basic contractions.

              ok but do ANY of these make sense?

              the only languages i know that use ç use it with an s sound, not a ch one

              and how is anyone supposed to know how year is written in chinese?

              oh also i think you put the wrong links cause i don’t see any of the “contractions” you made in them

                They do, if you know IPA.
                “Ș & Ç” used to be “Sh & Ch” substitutes before IPA created “ʃ & ʒ” respectively. In English electronic keybords, those characters are more accessible than “ʃ & ʒ.”
                The “year” one is a personal touch, I admit. I prefer a logogram over 4 symbols.

                i don’t see any of the “contractions” you made in them I’m about to slay your brain🤯. Even b4 SMSlang, we had something called 🌈shorthands✨.

                  Just text like a normal person, the whole point of language is to be understood not be obnoxiously avant-garde.

                    Why do normal people invade queer spaces‽ Contractions in langs demonstrate literacy, why do you want to obnoxiously demand people “text” like you‽

                  so not only do i have to learn IPA, i need to learn the old symbols that aren’t used anymore? if you go out of your way to put a lologram in there why not also add ʃ and ʒ to your keyboard?

                  ok i have to be more specific… i don’t see any of the random characters you’re calling “contractions” in any of those links.

                  edit: forgot to mention, if you’re using ç for the ch sound, why is it in niche, the one word with a ch that makes an sh sound?

                    I can def. add “ ʃ and ʒ” to my ⌨️, but will folks add them to their font banks?

                    why is it in niche, the one word with a ch that makes an sh sound? Ingliʃ ╮(︶▽︶)╭
