Serkreyol TVUS Alphabet (Updated with Only H, G, J as Vowels)
The Serkreyol language fully removes the traditional vowels A, E, I, O, and U. All native words are formed using only three vowel letters: H, G, and J. These letters function as the linguistic and emotional spine of the language.

H — pronounced as a breath or exhale. Symbolizes mourning, hesitation, grief.G — pronounced guttural or nasal (like "ng" or "guh"). Symbolizes blood, ancestry, hunger.J — pronounced like a soft hiss ("zh"). Symbolizes seduction, secrets, spiritual emotion.

Usage Rules
Every word must contain at least one of H, G, or J.
Traditional vowels (A, E, I, O, U) are omitted in native Serkreyol words.
Words are short, breathy, and emotionally marked through letter form.
Note: Non-natives may use traditional vowels for clarity. This is called slipping the soft breath.
Number System: Fang-Based Counting
Numbers are represented using symbolic fang marks and thread lines. These are cultural, often drawn with venom ink.
1–9:1 — ⸸ (single fang) — beginning2 — ⸶ (paired fangs) — duality, bond3 — ꕔ (triple bite) — braid/thread4 — 𐔧 (grounded fang) — stability5 — 𓄿 (hooked fang) — change6 — ⴲ (split jaw) — growth7 — ⴳ (crooked fang) — error/lesson8 — ꗯ (looped bite) — return9 — ꔷ (dripping fang) — near-death10 — ◈ (crowned fang) — cycle
Rules:
Lowercase or crooked fangs represent dishonor or grief years.
Dates, debts, and vows are tracked in fang-script.
Venom-ink fades faster if the number is false.
