There are a few consonant clusters that don't occur in English, yet feel like they'd fit in perfectly fine, and I can't imagine why they aren't used. Specifically, /sv/, /sɹ/, /pf/, and maybe also /sf/, /bv/ and /kv/.

@Rosemary /tth/ and /ddh/ are the ones I want to know why we're missing.

@literorrery That's actually a really good point! (I'm assuming you mean /tθ/ and /dð/?)

@Rosemary Oh, definitely. I couldn't remember the SAMPA and I don't have IPA mapped anywhere.

Speaking of, hey @ElectricKeet, I love you and I need your keymap.

@literorrery @ElectricKeet Are you on Linux or Windows? Linux has compose functionality native, and Windows you can get a great program called WinCompose (which uses the same .Xcompose format), that we use for all sorts of special characters. Felthry put in an entire upside-down alphabet once.

@Rosemary @ElectricKeet Right now, Windows. Ask me again in a year and I may have finally gone home.
