Vowels

You might have noticed from the alphabet that a lot of things have changed, like how there is 10 vowels instead of 5.

I am just using the capital letters for easier purposes.

A lot of vowels have been discarded, in English there are 5 vowels representing 20 vowel sounds, in Impa there are 10 vowels each having their own special sound. A, E, I, O, and U each represent ah (bat), eh (bet), ih (bit), oh (bought), and uh (butt), which is their short vowel noises. The versions with lines over top, Ā, Ē, Ī, Ō, and Ū take the form of the long vowels ay (gay), ee (feet), ie (bite), oa (roast), and oo (fruit).

Be careful for the lowercase and uppercase version of Ī/ī not to join the macron (the line above) to the I itself, causing it to look like a T.
