Changes: Some letters were removed as they don't make distinct sounds in the language.

One letter one sound: cz -> ç ó -> u ch -> h sz -> ş

Makes more sense regarding the sound: ą -> ǫ ć -> çь h -> ɠ ń -> nь ś -> şь ł -> w w -> v ź -> zь ż rz -> ȥ

Introducing soft sign will allow for more possibilities (e.g. loaning from languages like russian). Introducing separate letter for every soft sign is redundant. ь is to be read as "miękki znak".

With my alphabet the orthography of many words have to be changed a lot: żółw -> ȥuwv tchórz -> thuȥ włóczęga -> vwuçęga wolność -> volnoşьçь wąs -> vǫs bohater -> boɠater

Notice how much better does orthography align with pronouncination.

Any thoughts about how to bring this to live to some extend? Thanks in advance.
