For dat, we need alphabet of sounds wey people everywhere fit know say dem no be di same. Dis short test go find out which sounds be dat. If you help us, we fit put your name as credit or you fit stay anonymous, and everything we learn go public. Di longer story.

Name wey you fit talk with mouth, wey dem just make for your browser
For di system wey we dey build, every thing get name wey be long number. Nobody fit talk long number, so each one also get koan: short name wey you fit speak, wey simple syllables make. Below na fresh random number, wey dem make for your device and nobody send am anywhere, with im koan for each of di two sets of syllables wey we dey choose between.
set A (consonant + a, e, i or u + optional “ng”)
set B (consonant + a, o, i or u + optional “n”)
To talk am any of di ways no change anything. Both spoken names stand for di same long number; di syllables na just way to talk am, like when you read phone number out loud for English or for Spanish.
