We are discussing phonetic notations quite a lot recently. Chinese phonetic, Irish phonetic etc.
I wonder if someone really used a phonetic notation of some language with invented alphabet, would people be able to decipher it at all or not.
I made some test. I have written down a text in modern English using ortography of another language X. Something like writing "hani" instread of "honey".
The text is encoded with simple substitution cipher - one sign in cipher is one sign in alphabet of language X.
Language X has more letters than English but not much.
Would anybody be willing to try if they can break it with available computer tools, online solvers etc. ? And when you break it, are you able to read and understand the English?
Would it be easy, hard or impossible?
I guess existing computer tools use language dictionaries and here words are "bastardized" so dictionaries may not help.
Would anybody be interested?
It if is very hard with English then we can forget about reading phonetic notations of Asian languages
