Per the AfD discussion mentioned above, I believe there is no reason at all to doubt the notability of the subject in question. A book has been written about it, and that cannot be said of many other artificial languages represented here. Since the prod tag says "Please remove this message when you've improved the article, or if you otherwise object to deletion", this is exactly what I'm going to do. If people feel that the article is too short or something, I would recommend using the conlangstub template instead. — IJzeren Jan In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 11:55, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
the very last bit under the external links seems rather POV to me. sounds like something you'd see on someone's blog as opposed to wikipedia. cma 09:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
It's kind of interesting idea, but it goes against what linguists call Duality of patterning... AnonMoos ( talk) 18:03, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
The pronunciations are POV. "A as in water" is of no help whatsoever - "water" as pronounced where? Please replace with IPA. — Paul G ( talk) 13:56, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
aUI's glyphs really are what makes it so interesting. This article doesn't have any illustrations of them at the moment... which is understandable, since there's no Unicode block for them or anything. So I'll see if I can scan a few examples out of the aUI book that I have. Or I can scan show the title page, which shows all the glyphs, and then I can caption that. The http://home.centurytel.net/languageofspace/ site has plenty of examples, and a low-rez version of the title page that I mentioned: http://home.centurytel.net/languageofspace/aui_symbol_bg.JPG ... Hm, either I get to figure out how to copyright-clear images for being in Wikipedia, or I go learn a vector graphics drawing program to make a de-novo SVG of each symbol and upload that to Wikipedia. Yay! — Sean M. Burke ( talk) 22:23, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
This article doesn't say how y* ("zero") is pronounced. The asterisk means nasalized, but the phonetic value of lowercase y remains unclear.
In most cases lowercase vowel letters repesent phonemes that are slightly opener (=lower) than the phonemes represented by their uppercase counterparts. Is y* therefore pronounced /ʏ̃/, though there is no /ʏ/ this corresponds to? Or maybe /ỹ/, nasalizing the existent phoneme /y/ that is written as an uppercase Y ("negation")? Or is it something entirely different, perhaps the nasalized version of a "neutral" schwa /ə/, as in Lojban orthography, and reminiscent of Russian where the vowel that slavicists romanize as y is also central? (After all, "zero" is something intrinsically neutral as well, isn't it?) Love — LiliCharlie ( talk) 14:01, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
