This cipher uses a unique phonetic alphabet.
Consonant sounds (not necessarily in the text):
m b p f v r l d t s z y n j ch sh zh* w ng g k thin** this** h
*Zh refers to the s in conclusion or the j in bonjour
**Thin and This refer to the th in those words
Vowel sounds (not necessarily in the text):
bat bit but baa bot bet beat boot book
I haven't seen anyone else do something like this so I thought it would make a good challenge for those of you who are accustomed to breaking normal substitution ciphers.
For rhotic vowels, I just used Rs.
You can assume I did not choose the correct vowel sounds. However, the second puzzle piece should allow you to break it regardless.
