Another alphabet is possible.
The Shavian alphabet is a simple, memorable, regular alternative to the alphabet we all grew up with. It's been around for nearly fifty years.
After you have learned to read Shavian, you might want to
- read the XKCD comic in Shavian,
- play Hangman in Shavian,
- play a Shavian flashcard game,
- read the feeds of your favourite websites in Shavian,
- watch a film with Shavian subtitles,
- or help translate free software into Shavian.
If you want some more technical information, you might be interested in the Shavian Set, a system to translate text into Shavian automatically, or in contributing some translations of your own.
There is also an archive of the Shaw Script journal available, and there will be answers to some questions later.
