This website is dedicated to sharing alternative writing and spelling systems for multiple languages. Because I am a native English speaker, English writing systems will be posted first, but other languages will soon be joining. My goal is to provide extensive texts in different scripts as well as an easy way to convert any document into your favorite script. Why I am an Alternative Linguist. I enjoy languages very much. I like to precisely define the sounds that come out of our mouths so they can be recorded in written form very easily. The shortest path between the written script and spoken language must be made. A language should be able to be read by someone who natively speaks the language or not in one day. The words if fully phonetic also have more punch than words that are not fully phonetic. Try this example. Beauty is for beholding, versus byUtE iz fOr bEhOldiG. The second has more direct power because every sound corresponds to just one letter. Your brain can land each sound...
The Deseret Alphabet was invented by Brigham Young and Joseph Smith in the 1860's. They wanted to produce a fully phonetic alphabet for English. Here is some sample text and an pronunciation key. As you can see, a few letters have been added that are not in the original Deseret Alphabet to make pronunciation clearer. Pronunciation Key Here it is in jpg.
