The Especian Alphabet Song

Especian is a personal note-taking language of mine that doesn't in any way aim for aesthetic pleasure nor naturalism. It was initially created to "optimize" me getting stuck trying to explain to myself what I mean by something because language is created by shared understanding, so a language only I speak is the least vague and specification-requiring by technicality. 

Now, because it's pretty much related to my stream of conscious - Espec has a lot of sounds. Excluding regularized variations for long vowels, there are about 50 letters in the Espec alphabet which uses modernized latin. Here's as follows:

A, ȧ, æṡ, e, ėrr, ërrl

Ə, iyot, ut, u̇t, ü~ ot

Ȯt, makronen *ya* yanen *oto*

     ("and their macron, palatal etc. versions")


Be, ce, ċe, c̓e, de

Þorrn, fi, go

Ǧopen go, deġ go, ha

     ("the G in cat, the G in day")

Jë, ka, qa-al; ma, na, aŋ


Pa, ra; pr̈kana ra, pṙana ra

     ("a cat-like R, a purr-like R")

Es, eṡ, te, t̓e, vi

Wat, ẇat, xa *ænd* ẋa

Yot, ä, *ænd* zet

*Finen* otone'n zet.

    ("At the end, Z without a voice")


Here's a reading of it:  , with a few pauses when I lost what line I was at.
