Your Alternative Writing and Spelling Systems Hub!

 I think you will enjoy this puppy! I follow the common theme I have in my scripts of having some indication above if the letter is unvoiced, and some indication below if the letter is voiced.       Here is the pronunciation chart . And here is the book of Genesis to practice .

 I decided to create an alphabet that is inspired by Shavian, Deseret, and also Tengwar. This came to me March 26th, and I thought I would now make it public. This writing system has some characters from Deseret, some that resemble Shavian characters, and some that are inspired by Tengwar. The basic idea was to change one thing that has bothered me about Shavian, which is that sometime the curved part of the letter points away from the voice box when the sound is unvoiced, and towards it when voiced, as in the 𐑐 𐑚 pair, and sometimes the opposite, as in the 𐑔 𐑞 pair. I have changed this to make the memory load easier. Obviously when James Kingsley Read created the system, he was thinking about the letters sticking above the mid line being unvoiced, and the letters sticking below the mid line as being voiced. I can see his logic, but why not do both? In the pdf copy of this text linked below, I will demonstrate this. The pdf format allows you to easily display custom fonts wheth...

 This script is literally called this because I received this idea while lying awake one night. I think it is one of the most brilliant alphabet ideas I have ever thought of. That's I why I believe it came from God. I made two major overhauls in order to make it easier to remember. The vowels, semivowels, and consonants are all written using different character sets so that there is no confusion.

 If you want to make your own alphabet quickly and easily, you just need this chart. Just make letters that are visually similar for each sound group, and you can be done in about 5 minutes.   Here is the link .   I have also provided it in png format.  

 I have created an alphabet chart which makes learning the sounds of English very easy. The reason is because I have arranged the sounds of English in order of articulation point in the mouth. For example, at the very front we pronounce, p, b, and m. These sounds are related and should be taught together. This makes them easy to remember. Each letter can also receive a new name that makes it easier to remember as well. I am also interested in alternative alphabet creation. Using this chart chart, you can make a new alphabet in 6 minutes instead of 6 months. All you need to do is create letters in each sound group, as in t, d, n, or k, g, ng, that are visually related, and you are off and running.   Here is the chart.

Here is a free template you can use to easily make alternative writing systems for English. Here is my latest version of my New Latin Alphabet.

 This is a writing system designed to have minimal alterations to traditional latin letters while still having enough characters to make writing American English fully phonetic. You will find a pronunciation key as well as Romans chapter 5.

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 IPA keyboard which tells you what sounds I have assigned to the traditional qwerty keyboard. My Upper English Sound Chart to type English phonetically with no special fonts. The Keyboard for Deseret which will allow you to type the Deseret alphabet with the same sound positions as my IPA keyboard and the regular United States qwerty keyboard with my Upper English sound assignments. The keyboard for Shavian which has the same sound positions as Deseret but with Shavian characters. Because of the work that was put into this, a suggested donation would be appreciated.

 This system is designed to be beautiful, simple to write, and regularly spaced. Enjoy! Pronunciation Key Here it is online for all to see.

 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.

 Here I will be using phonetic English script in combination with Katakana to teach myself and others this Japanese Syllibary. Here we go!

 This is a new spelling system I have come up with that allows you to type with just one letter per sound, and one sound per letter. Spelling errors are a thing of the past. The reason I like this is because it allows phonemic notation of the sounds we actually say without much effort. We can now type all the sounds of English using one letter for each sound, and one sound for each letter. You no longer need a special keyboard with mysterious IPA symbols. All you need is your regular QWERTY keyboard, and the insight that came to me one night that if you reassign upper case letters different sounds, you can write all the sounds of English phonemically. Here is a sample from the Bible taken from Romans 5. {5:1} TARfOR bEiG justifId bI fAH, wE hav pEs wiH god HrU WR lOrd jEzqs krIst: {5:2} bI hUm olsO wE hav akses bI fAH intU Tis grAs weRin wE stVnd, Vnd rEjYs in hOp uv Tq glOrE uv god. {5:3} Vnd not OnlE [sO,] but wE glOrE in tribyUlACqnz olsO: nOiG Tat tribyUlACqn wRkqH pACqns; {5:4...

This writing system was created by James Kingsley Read in the 1960's, after receiving money from the will of George Bernard Shaw after his passing. It was completed on the 18th of August, 1960. The basic design was to use only one letter for each sound of English and only one sound for each letter. This makes spelling very intuitive and simple. All English spelling rules become obsolete. You can simply write the same sounds that you speak. Here is a sample text from the Bible, taken from Romans chapter 5. {5:1} 𐑞𐑺𐑓𐑹 𐑚𐑰𐑦𐑙 𐑡𐑳𐑕𐑑𐑦𐑓𐑲𐑛 𐑚𐑲 𐑓𐑱𐑔, 𐑢𐑰 𐑣𐑨𐑝 𐑐𐑰𐑕 𐑢𐑦𐑞 ·𐑜𐑭𐑛 𐑔𐑮𐑵 𐑬𐑼 ·𐑤𐑹𐑛 ·𐑡𐑰𐑟𐑩𐑕 ·𐑒𐑮𐑲𐑕𐑑: {5:2} 𐑚𐑲 𐑣𐑵𐑥 𐑭𐑤𐑕𐑴 𐑢𐑰 𐑣𐑨𐑝 𐑨𐑒𐑕𐑧𐑕 𐑚𐑲 𐑓𐑱𐑔 𐑦𐑯𐑑𐑵 𐑞𐑦𐑕 𐑜𐑮𐑱𐑕 𐑢𐑺𐑦𐑯 𐑢𐑰 𐑕𐑑𐑨𐑯𐑛, 𐑯 𐑮𐑦𐑡𐑶𐑕 𐑦𐑯 𐑣𐑴𐑐 𐑝 𐑞 𐑜𐑤𐑹𐑰 𐑝 ·𐑜𐑭𐑛. {5:3} 𐑯 𐑯𐑭𐑑 𐑴𐑯𐑤𐑰 [𐑕𐑴,] 𐑚𐑳𐑑 𐑢𐑰 𐑜𐑤𐑹𐑰 𐑦𐑯 𐑑𐑮𐑦𐑚𐑿𐑤𐑱𐑖𐑩𐑯𐑟 𐑭𐑤𐑕𐑴: 𐑯𐑴𐑦𐑙 𐑞𐑨𐑑 𐑑𐑮𐑦𐑚𐑿𐑤𐑱𐑖𐑩𐑯 𐑢𐑻𐑒𐑩𐑔 𐑐𐑱𐑖𐑩𐑯𐑕; {5:4} 𐑯 𐑐𐑱𐑖𐑩𐑯𐑕, 𐑦𐑒𐑕𐑐...

 Musa is a recently created alphabet that allows perfectly accurate pronunciation for all the world's languages. 

 This writing system was made by John Malone in the 1950's while working for Bendix Corporation. He planned for it to be used for the world's airlines as their standard writing system. When this fell through, his alphabet turned out to be useful for teaching elementary school children to read. It can also be used as a pronunciation key in English dictionaries. Here is  Romans 5 written in Unifon. It is in the King James Version .  Here is the Unifon Key below.  

 Here I am using English to teach myself Hiragana. All sounds in English which can be made with Hiragana will be written using this writing system. Here we go! Ezekiel 10:10-11 Aんd as for their aぴraんces, they four had one likeねss, as if a うぃl had been in the midst of a うぃl. うぇん they うぇんt, they うぇんt uぱn their four sides; they turned なt as they うぇんt, but つ the place whither the へd looked they followed it; they turんed なt as they うぇんt. And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went. What did you all think? Since most of the sounds of English are not covered by hiragana, it is still pretty readable, is it not?

Have you ever wanted to have a simple system to write English with, but could not? New Latin is here! This writing system allows you to phonetically write all the sounds of English in a bidirectional, symmetrical format. Not only can you write left to right, right to left like Arabic or Hebrew, or as the ox plows, also called boustrophedon, but everything you write with my special keyboard layout is automatically written as stoicon, which means every character is perfectly lined up with all the ones above and below, including spaces and punctuation. Below you will find a pronunciation key and Romans Chapter 5 written in this script. You will find both of these as a downloadable png. Enjoy!    Here is the pronunciation key as a png.           Romans Chapter 5 Left to Right   As png.     Romans Chapter 5 Right to left.   As png.  

This page is an explanation of my Cyrillic alternative spelling system for English. It will help you understand the keyboard layout I have created as well.    Here are the sounds of English in order of articulation from front to back and the Cyrillic characters I have picked to make those sounds. Some of these characters make different sounds in different languages. I apologize for this. My goal is to make the pronunciation of each character as close to what it is in Russian as possible.   Here is the pronunciation key, followed by Romans Chapter 5 written in Cyrillic.     Romans Chapter 5 in English Cyrillic
