The Ʒ ʒ character

The preferred shape of the letter Ʒ ʒ is not like the IPA ezh, but like the Insular G, ᵹ (\u1D79), the capital version of which however is not adopted in Unicode yet. I use Ʒ ʒ (ezh) provisionally since the capital version of Insular G is not adopted in Unicode yet, and the small letter also is missing from most Unicode fonts. The preferred shape is shown in this image:

It should be noted that in NAS this letter denotes the phoneme /dʒ/ and not the phoneme /ʒ/ which is written zj, except before ý where it is written z, e.g. vizjn, azýr.

The ʃ character

NAS uses the ʃ character with its IPA value. Note that it should have a descender, unlike the Latin letter Long s ſ, in order to be maximally distinct from f. The preferred capital form is , in order to distinguish it from the lower-case form, and from capital S. Since this capital form is unavailable in standard fonts the forms  (the Insular capital S) or Ʃ (the 'African' capital ʃ ) may be used, though care should be taken to distinguish  from /Ʒ.

Alternative graphies

Letters with acute diacritics may be replaced with digraphs as follows á > aa, é > ee, í > ij, ó > eo, ú > ou, ý > yy, œ > oe, ů > uo, å > oa.

Þ, þ may be replaced with Th th, Ʃ ʃ may be replaced with Sh sh or Sj sj and Ʒ ʒ may be replaced with Cg cg or Gj gj.

Alternative vowel glyphs

^ [1] This is what the face character should should look like, in case it doesn't show up correctly in the table!

Ɩɩ	kit
Ɛɛ	dress
Aa	trap, father
Ɔɔ	lot
Λʌ	strut
Ee	fleece
ƐƖɛɩ	face
İi	price
Ƣƣ	choice
Uu	foot, goose
Oo	goat
Ɯɯ	mouth
Yy	cute

My preference would be to use ,  for trap and father but ordinary A, a for face (with ƐƖ, ɛɩ as cursive form), likewise ,  for cute and Y, y for strut — but you need to have Junicode orCardo installed for those characters to be seen! In the meantime ,  A, a

as free variants for trap and father and ƐƖ, ɛɩ for face is preferable, since even unligatured ƐƖ ɛɩ is preferable to losing the distinction! Thus although I'd prefer

Fþr ʃud bɛtr z þ brɩᵹ ɩf he wɔntz tu gɛt hom ɩn tim! — Jɛs amz!

I'll use

Faþr ʃud bɛtr yz þ brɩʒ ɩf he wɔntz tu gɛt hom ɩn tim! — Jɛs Ʒɛɩmz!

It's all a service to the Anglo terror diacriticorum: if nearly all other languages uses diacritics, then why not English?
