International Latin Alphabet 2015

Rules

The Unified Latin Alphabet applies the following rules:

1. Character inventory
   1. Use only characters from ISO 8859-1.
      1. prefer 65-90, (A-Z) and 97-122 (a-z), i.e. ISO 646
      2. from the others, prefer for vowels those that are present in several other ISO 8859 standards, i.e. characters with acute, grave, circumflex or diaeresis
2. Character - sound correspondence
   1. a, e, i, o, u with or without diacritics represent vowels.
   2. j and w represent semivowels as in IPA
   3. the rest represent consonants
      1. In the ULA-base form all characters except for c = /ʃ/, q = /ç/ and y = /ʒ/ have the value as in IPA.

Examples

Auxlang

See International Auxiliary Language alphabet

Slavic

• /j/
  • Serbian, Croat, Czech: j, e.g. Jakovo
  • Bulgarian (official Romanization): y, e.g. Yakovo (bulg.: "unnecessary" divergence from IPA)
  • ULA: j
• /ts/
  • Serbian, Croat, Czech: c, e.g. Gorica
  • Bulgarian (official Romanization): ts, e.g. Goritsa (bulg.: more logical, since t and s exist already)
  • ULA: ts

Turkic

May need review and further work.
