This is not a spelling reform site. It is a resource for people wishing to explore the beauty and design of the Shavian alphabet.
Using Shavian is a joy. Anyone who has had to learn English, whether as a first language or a second language, knows that our writing system is inconsistent, complex, fossilised and full of traps even for the best spellers. Reading and writing in Shavian, a purpose-built alphabet for modern English, sets the language free from the hide-bound and often arbitrary rules set by grammarians and lexicographers of centuries past.
Much has been written about English language spelling reform over the centuries. The debates have been mostly fruitless. Change in a language usually happens from the bottom up. This is especially so for English, which is highly decentralised and diverse.
Like Shaw himself, I do not think the Shavian alphabet will replace traditional English orthography within the foreseeable future. Even the inestimable hangul script, perfectly designed for the Korean language, took over 450 years from its creation to its first use in an official document.
The design of the Shavian alphabet is too wonderful to be allowed to fall into obscurity. Those who discover it often derive enjoyment from the simple act of writing in it. Others use it for reasons of economy etc. In any event, Shavian exists as an unofficial, but standardised, variant of English orthography, full of unexplored artistic and cultural promise.
I have been using the Shavian alphabet since 2016.
I have always been fascinated by writing systems. As a child, I would create my own just for fun, whether inspired by Japanese, Greek or Russian dictionaries on my family鈥檚 bookshelves, or by the runes and tengwar scripts in the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.
I was attracted to the Shavian alphabet initially because the concept had moved beyond the proposal and debate stage to an actual book demonstrating its utility. It had a fascinating origin story and was a thing of beauty. Additionally, a lot of work had been done by people like Michael Everson in the late 1990s and early 2000s to have Shavian added to the Unicode standard. The alphabet was just sitting there, and it seemed a shame not to use it.
