New English Alphabets

Welcome to our Question and Answer Blog on Alternate English Alphabets.

We got rid of  Roman Numbers. Now it is time to replace the outmoded Roman Alphabet.  We hope that we can help you find the appropriate English Alphabet for your needs.  Do you have a question or do you just want to get started?

First things first, do you want the alphabet to be rigidly phonetic?

Second, do you want to have a shorthand type alphabet for quick cursive note taking?

  1. This is a comment about this Blog.
    There doesn’t seem to be much here. How do I go about learning a new Alphabet?

  2. Welcome Philip
    This web-site has just been set up. It is here to let you see some of the best alternate Alphabets available for writing English. We chose the top three.
    Once you have decided what Alphabet you want to learn, we can help you find an on-line teaching program, a Teaching Manual or an on-line forum. All the learning resources that you need to become literate.
    Did you have any questions about which alphabet might be best for your needs?

  3. I didn’t know there was more than one Alphabet.
    Are there any other alphabets, I should be looking at?

  4. Hi Philip
    There are a lot of different alphabets that have been developed to write English.
    Most of them were for a specific application or have fallen into disuse over the years.
    For example, there is the cursive alphabet and a number of other alphabets that have been optimized to take dictation or to record court proceedings. They are called Shorthands.
    For example, there are the Pitman, Gregg and Treeline Shorthands,
    all still in common use.

    You can also look at www.omniglot.com to see a lengthy list of other English Alphabets.
    But I think the three alphabets, we list in this Web-page are the best.

  5. Hey Paul

    How can I determine which alphabets
    on Omniglot.com are English Alphabets?
    There are hundreds of Alphabets listed, most of which seem to be for foreign languages.
    It seem most people prefer to use their own Alphabet for their own language.
    I am surprised.
    The Roman Alphabet is no way universally
    accepted outside of Europe.

  6. Hi Philip D.

    There are number of English Alphabets described at www.omniglot.com.
    Offhand, I can think of:
    Quikscript, Interbet, International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), Unifon and the Moon Alphabet.
    Also the 36 letter Icelandic Alphabet works quite nicely for English.
