Alternative ways of writing English

This is a collection of constructed scripts, adapated scripts and alternative spelling systems for English.

These scripts are all invented by visitors to Omniglot. If you have invented a new alphabet and would like me to add it to this site, please read the How to submit a con-script page.

New scripts appear at the bottom of the page.
