    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‽

              Queer as in strange, or queer as in gay? As I am both. Either way, to deny outside input is to deny original thoughts, and that often denotes lack of literacy. I don’t demand people text like me, I do however criticize people intentionally writing in an obtuse way, knowing that it would be more difficult for the average person to understand it. It’s pretentious, and frankly feels more like you obnoxiously demanding people to learn to read your specific way of writing, instead of the other way around.

          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 ╮(︶▽︶)╭

              if you care about people not having the font for characters, you should probably not use random chinese characters
