##READ ALL OF THEM AND DECIDE ON YOUR FAVOURITE

VOTE: http://strawpoll.me/1631909/r

For people who submitted phonologies: you are free to vote your own, I have done so, but please do not do so blindly, consider all the others and think about what you prefer, for example maybe you don't like certain sounds, so they aren't in yours, look at the others and see if they have them, maybe you'll find something you like!

For those wondering, AO and SO are two styles of orthography, the one Arthur originally suggested which uses the letter x and h for differentiating between things, and mine which uses the letter h and double lettering respectively (except dd, which isn't aspirated, I just like it more than the dh it would be if I stuck with the rules)
