Am I mkanig snese?
So the written language is even crazier than I first realised. OK, so you've got the 46 consonants and 30 vowels, and you've got the fact that they don't use any spaces between words at all. But now I discover that the vowels can be positioned before, after, above or below the consonants they're associated with, dependent on the word in question. So the order of the letters in the written word isn't necessarily the order that the sounds are made. Madness!
Apparently this leads to some amusing spellings when Sara's kids apply the same 'logic' to their English.
