Aside from the vowels a e i o u (which are special) and also the pseudo-vowel y, the rest of the consonants roughly split into a few kind of groups. The -ee endings (b, c, d, etc.) is the most common, but there is also e- (like s, l), -ay (like k), a- (like r). There’s also some weird ones like q (kyu) and the worst offender is “double u” (w).
If the pronunciations of the consonants were standardised, what should be the new “standard” for pronouncing them? Should it be -ee, or something like -ay? How would the alphabet song sound?
-ee sounds: a (vowel) bee cee dee e (vowel) fee gee (g or j sound?) hee i (vowel) jee (could be confused with gee?) kee lee mee nee o (vowel) pee qee (kwee?) ree see tee u (vowel) vee wee xee yee zee (sorry “zed”…)
-ay sounds: a (vowel) bay cay day e (vowel) fay gay (g or j sound?) hay i (vowel) jay (could be confused with gay?) kay lay may nay o (vowel) pay qay (kway?) ray say tay u (vowel) vay way xay yay :D zay (neither “zee” nor “zed”…)
-ed sounds: a (vowel) bed ced ded e (vowel) fed ged (g or j sound?) hed i (vowel) jed (could be confused with ged?) ked led med ned o (vowel) ped qed (kwed?) red sed ted u (vowel) ved wed xed yed zed (sorry “zee”…)
aay ebe eke ede eay efe ege ehe iay eje eek ele eme ene oay epe eque ere ese ete uay eve ewe ekse yay eze
but if we’re making changes, we should really get rid of C, Y, X, and W; bring back thorn; turn all soft Gs into Js… the list goes on
split all vowels into the two-four sounds they actually make
I think Morse or binary are like the absolute extreme end if you just kept going.
