... *nods* This seems confuse people easily. My wife occasionally puts "Shavian" among the languages which I can speak, and I have to re-explain that it's not...

I found it on the internet under the name, The Life and Death of Invented Alphabets", at http://www.usu.edu/anthro/origins_of_writing/invented_alphabets/ then...
Interesting stuff... shame he copied my website's alphabet chart and didn't credit me... never mind :-P We can't really criticise the author of this webpage...
Hi Ethan You certainly count as one of the others. Feel free to comment. While I agree with most of your comments, I wholeheartedly agree with your point that:...

... Paul, Dead horse. Really dead horse. Desicated really dead horse... with maggots. Is it really time to beat it yet again? --Star ===== Numfar! Do the Dance...
... This horse has been dead so long it's nothing but bones... with whip marks worn in them! -- ยท๐ฐ๐๐ฉ๐ฏ - Ethan My name in Shavian and Latin text...
Actuallly, it seems to me that he was bringing up the valid point that it takes a while to learn Shavian. The subset dead-horse has been beaten countless...
Yes, I've created yet another Shavian font. This one is called Centurion and can be found in the files at the group site. I'm also working on another one...
Interesting point, Joe. I do agree that we could use a better way of learning it, and I liked what I read, only it seemed to me that the trouble makers were...
That's always a problem. Subsets are okay as long as the people using them can read and write standard Shavian when necessary. Then that brings up the issue...
I had a feeling the vets were still charging up the defibrullator on that one. --Star ... ===== Numfar! Do the Dance of Joy! --Lorne's Mom (from Angel) ...
Thanks, Joe Thanks for explaining the benefits of a phased teaching plan for the vowel letters. I guess the main point that I am making is that it should be...
... I didn't think it was difficult to learn at all. I have taught other people to read Shavian, once again with little difficulty. I never used a subset,...
Hi Ethan You are correct. It is not quite as difficult to just teach people to Read the Shaw Alphabet. The Letters are clear enough in themselves, for people...
Personally, I think we are not far enough along in our description of the Shavian Alphabet and our understanding of the phonetic differences in the whole range...
Modern English has been around (my middle ages prof will agree with me here) since the 15th century at least, not counting the predecessors that we know as...
Hi Star Alas Poor Yorick, I knew him well. Modern English in that sense includes Shakespeare, if you want to go back to the 15th century. I need my English to...
Hi Everyone I have managed to interest a couple of people in learning about the Shavian Alphabet in general kind of way. As for actually doing the work to...

Hi Joe it is definately an uphill battle, but I am certain, that I will be able to find some out-of-the-ordinary people, who would find it helpful to know the...
... I don't know that this is true. In my experience in depositions, stenographers almost never have to stop the flow of question and answer, and they make...
Hi Paige Thanks for your comments. You are right about stenographers. They must obviously incorporate a method of writing out an unrecognisable word using the...
If we're thinking of the same machine, it was called Stenotype, not Stenograph. It was widely used by court reporters - I don't know whether it's still in use...
Stenotype Machines seem to be still the main tool used by the Court Recorder according to what I see on the Internet, although voice transcription system as...
Hi Paige Thanks for your feedback. Let me respond to the second point you bring up. If the only benefit of writing Shavian was to communicate back and forth...
