The Alike English version of Peoplese spelling is Peoplese language with slightly regularized English spelling.  Its function is to allow English speakers an effortless way to familiarize themselves with the many outstanding features of Peoplese, all of which are delineated on this website.  Once that is accomplished, the logical next step is to coordinate the sounds of the words with how they are spelled -- hence, the Sound Spell Same version of Peoplese spelling.

MS Word SPELLCHECK.  You may add Peoplese as a spelling option to MS Word's spellcheck feature.  Gratis.  Once done, your English text will underline in red all words not in Peoplese.  For instructions, see FAQ (linked to top right of home page).

             In Peoplese, the following are not capitalized except at the beginning of sentences:
                        Species words.  Ex:  maple tree, lotus flower, sparrow, monkey, people.
                        With hyphenated words, the subsequent words after the first word.
                                    Whether or not the initial word is capitalized, the word following the hyphen is not.
                        “god” except when referring to the one God.  Ex:  Greek gods.
                        “the sun”, “the moon”.  Suns (stars) and moons are generic words, therefore not capitalized.
                        Titles preceding proper names.
                                    Ex:  misses Johns, miss Jones, king Tut, primeministor Kio, president Lee, doctor No, teachort Gens,
                                                miz Sugarfoot (English:  Ms. Sugarfoot), professor Higgins, dentist Sapperstein, lawyer Khan,
                                                father Brown, prophet Mohammad, mister Lin, doctorate Moore, carpentorm Chivvis.

             Pronouns. Peoplese is an international language, so what is considered divine to some may not be considered divine to others. Thus, pronouns referring to spiritual messengers, including Jesus, are not generally capitalized – although they may be capitalized, depending on the writer's preference.
 

                Nouns are categorized as singular (only one) and plural (more than one).

                Root nouns are singular.  Ex:  shoe, arm, pain, dish.

                Peoplese has no irregular plural words.
                        Ex:  mouses, mans, oxes, swines, phenomenons, taxis, dices, fishes, foots, womans, childs,
                                    tooths, radiuses, mooses, leafs, alumnas, bacteriums, crisises.
                        Ex:  English “person” → Peoplese “people”, Englsh “people” → Peoplese “peoples”.
                                    One people, two peoples.

                Form for plural noun:  root noun + s, except when noun ends in h, s, x, or z,
                                    in which case the plural is formed by adding “es” to the noun.
                                    Ex:  shoes, arms, pains, dishes, axes, oasises, datums, quizes.
                                    (In pure Peopese SSS version, hyphenette + s is added to root words regardless of their ending letters.)

                        Nouns are also categorized as countable and uncountable.  (see grammar section)
                                    Uncountable nouns (e.g. water, joy) do not require plural endings.

                An ordinal number designates a position in an ordered sequence. 

                Ordinal numbers can be used as nouns and as adnouns.
                        Ex:  In the speedrace he finish۔d third.  A four-eth of the learnclass fail۔d the exam.

                When used as nouns, plural “s” can be added.   Ex:  Divide the cake into eight-eths.

ROMANIZATION OF NON۔PEOPLESE WORDS 

               Romanization is the conversion of words from languages with non-Latin alphabets (e.g. Greek),
                        and words from languages with no alphabets (e.g. Chinese), into letters of the Latin (Roman) alphabet.

               Except proper nouns, all foreign words that are not Peoplese words are generally italicized.
                        Ex:  When he depart۔d, everybody say۔d adios.

               Manderin Chinese romanization:
                        Peoplese Alike English uses mainland China’s pinyin romanization system, with the following exceptions: 
                                Pinyin “q” (pronounced like a heavily aspirated “ch”) is represented in Peoplese as:  ch
                                          Note that in Peoplese Sound Spell Same (SSS) spelling system,
                                                      letter “q” is pronounced like English “ch”.
                                Pinyin "x" (pronounced like "sh" with tongue farther back), in Peoplese is:  "s".
                                Pinyin "v" is (pronounced as German umlaut "u") in Peoplese Alike English is simply "u".
                                          (Chinese does not have a sound corresponding to Latin "v")
                                Note that this imperfect romanization system does not distinguish between different Chinese sounds "q" and
                                           "ch", nor different sounds "x" and "sh".  Pinyin "c" is a completely different sound than English "c".

                        Most Chinese personal names are two-character combinations; in that case, only the first letter of the two-character combination is capitalized, and there is no punctuation between the two parts of the name.  E.g. Mao Zedong  The same applies to most cities, e.g. Shanghai (“by sea”) and Beijing (“north capital”).
                        If the romanized Chinese will likely be read by people who speak Chinese, it will be incomprehensible to them without tone marks.  In Mandarin, the national language of China, the four tones can be signified by a mark above the vowel, as:  qīng，qíng，qǐng，qìng, or, if vowel marks not available, Peoplese uses:  qing1, qing2, qing3, qing4.  The neutral tone requires no mark or number.

             Arabic romanization:
                        Arabic romanizations in English commonly use "q" not followed by "u";
                                in Peoplese Sound Spell Same, that "q' sound is spelled with letters "kw".
                        Letter "q" in the Sound Spell Same version of Peoplese spelling represents the "ch" sound, as in "chicken".
                               Therefore "q" is not usable for romanizing Arabic language to represent "k" sound.
                        Ex:  Thus, Islam's holy book is spelled in Peoplese, "Koran".   "Iraq" becomes "Irak".
                        Ex:  Sheeite  (not the English spelling, “Shi’ite");SSS "ꝭēīt". Peoplese does not use apostrophes within words.
                        Use “el” (not English alternatives “al” or “al-”) when inserted within a person’s name.
