ABSTRACT:
A color-assonant phonetics system for the English language to facilitate reading and pronunciation. It applies three styles of any font and fifteen colors (including black) to the letters of the English alphabet on any white background. All consonant phonemes are black letters and all vowel phonemes are letters colored by a color whose name rhymes with the vowel's sound. Uncommon phonemes are slanted letters. Silent letters are thin.
Webster's Dictionary's second definition of "assonance" is "vowel rhyme". Webster's Dictionary's definition of "phoneme" is "the basic distinctive units of speech sound by which morphemes, words, and sentences are represented." Webster's Dictionary's third definition of "phonetics" is "the symbols used to represent the speech sounds of a language."
