Basic Roman
The '''Basic Roman''' spelling of [[English language|English]] is a 2002 proposal for regular English [[spelling]].<ref>L.L.

The Extended Basic Roman is close to one-to-one [[phoneme]]-[[grapheme]] correspondence, paving the way to a pronunciation respelling for English by means of the closely related [[Roman Phonetic Alphabet for English]].
