Subject: [shavian] setting up a proper Shavian keyboard

Toggle Shavian
Hi, I am planning to set up a full Shavian keyboard with a blank
keyboard (or a cheap one) and keytop stickers. Does anyone have any
ideas about good places to get the keytop stickers from?
Or a cheap source of blank keyboards?

Hey!

What a great idea.

I think that what you need is these 'slip transfers'. It is a very
thin plastic sheet backed with card. You cut the shape you want and
use water to detach the front sheet from the back and slip it onto
where you want it to be. When the water dries the transfer it stuck
pretty fast.

I think you should be able to get blank A5 or A6 sheets which you can
use in your home printer. I don't know where you are so I can't realy
suggest anywhere.

I don't think you should use a blank keyboard (though its your
choice) but instead put the roman and shavian letters side be side.
That way you can use the keyboard at all times without havin to
unplug it when you want to use roman. If you make good one, be sure
to take a piccy an post it somewhere. Such a thing would be a sight
for sure!

I wish you all the best in makin one, as I know of nobody who has
done so, and you'll be puttin something new out there.

Thanks
Joseph

Subject: [shavian] James Murray, the OED, And Kingsley Read

Toggle Shavian
Well, I hope I didn't annoy or bore too many people with my
previous submission, tirade, or whatever it could be called.
As I mentioned James Murray and the OED, and what would
have been the language-pattern that Shaw would have been
familiar with (and employed in his own Anglo-Irish lilt), and
which Read should have used to constuct his alphabet had
he fully followed Shaw's instructions, perhaps it would be a
good idea to provide Murray's original pronunciation key-
words so that everyone could measure their own speech with
his comprehensive system. Unfortunately I know of no font
that would reproduce his notational system itself, which
involved Roman and Italic letters, subscripts and superscripts,
plus a few other subtleties, so I have had to capitalize the
vowel in question.

It may well be a natural tendency of us all, including linguists,
to assume their own particular speech to be the norm and that
of others to be somehow deviant, and speakers of such deviant
forms to be gracefully persuaded to mend their ways and adopt
correct pronunciation. Murray, as a Scot, was not so bold as to
believe the English-speaking world would readily convert to his
own Lowland Scots, charming as it may have been, and this
could have been the reason he took such pains to record the
sounds of English as spoken by a wider range of people than
the more restricted one of RP, as it would come to be called.

He divided vowels into three categories, ordinary, long, and
obscure, and listed them in rows that reflected the extension
of each sound into each category. Not every sound however
is represented in all categories, which explains the gaps in the
columns. The rows are in alphabetical order according to his
notation, and the enumeration is added to reduce confusion.
Today all the obscure vowels would be lumped together as
having the unstressed schwa, a symbol Murray used, but
only for vowels 10, 11, and 12.

26a. German MÜller*

27a. French dUne*
27b. German grÜn*, French jUs*

Those words marked with an * are noted as occurring only
in foreign or in earlier English words (chiefly rounded front
vowels), with the implication that those without the asterisk
are to be considered as an accepted part of our language.

The publishers at Oxford Press apparently felt that Murray's
notational system was too elaborate, and in the second
edition of the OED published, oh, some 15 or 20 years ago,
replaced it with the more restricted system of the IPA,
confining its scope to that of Received Pronunciation, the
speech pattern that Shaw must have been deliberately
hoping to avoid when he specified "Northern English", the
speech of George V, to be the basis of his alphabet. Another
description of it is the speech of the theatre, with which
Shaw as a playwright would have been intimately familiar —
a speech-form that without sacrifice of clarity and dignity
would strive to reach as broad an audience as possible. I
believe you may hear this manner of speaking in the old pre-
war films with Charles Laughton and the young Laurence
Olivier, or for that matter, after the war as well.

Perhaps Read thought it too elaborate too, or too difficult to
put into a simple format. With the important exception of the
compound or r-vowels, a concession to the desire for a
broader speech-form (which incidentally eases the inclusion
of American English), Read, in shaping his alphabet, appears
to have preferred the simpler RP register of vowels. And not
only the vowels: both Shaw and George V, as I've heard on
old recorded speeches, pronounced their interrogatives what,
when, where, and why, with the unvoiced `w' of our Anglo-
Saxon forebears —hwæt and hwen! — an omission Read did
however remedy in his QuickScript.

Subject: [shavian] Re: Learning curve

Toggle Shavian
Do you think you could make a book like that?

It should have pictures also (assuming you're aiming it at children)
to help along with the text and to keep up flagging interest. If I
remember rightly the best way to teach the alphabet is to concentrate
on single syllable words with strong initial sounds and easy visual
representation.

Obviously this only works with children, and I don't know if there is
a good way of teaching adults. If you already know one alphabet then
you can apply the same principles to a new one, I think the
struggling is a symptom of shavian having few resources. If we were
able to immerse a learner for a whole day in shavian then the pick up
rate would be fantastic.

Has anybody taught a child, especially one previously without
letters, how to read shavian? It would be helpful when making a book
to know where children struggle with shavian and where they have ease.

Thanks
Joseph

Hi Star,

I learned Shavian, mostly like an adult who has studied phonetics would. Though I'm only 22, I am rather fluent with using shavian. (Though my spelling represents mostly the phonemes in triggered in my head when I read rather than how I actually pronounce it verbally.) [This is of course when I have no time to refer to a dictionary for proper pronouncation.] The source I learned Shavian from was www.omniglot.com <http://www.omniglot.com> . Though the learning curve took me six months with help from (of course) my Shavian Buds (Everybody in this discussion group's help.)

Well I just rambled for a whole paragraph. Let's see how to overcome the learning curve?

I guess start with the shavian letters that have a direct equivalent first. Then the ones we traditionally use digraphs for. And when you teach the vowels use examples to show the differences.

Hope this helps,

Carl

I have an idea. Why not use Shavian in this group more often? If you use html,
you can designate Shavian fonts for your text, and it should show up for most
people who use html-capable email software, or the web interface, and who have
the common Shavian fonts installed, i.e. Ghoti, Lionspaw, Androcles, ...

I see a lot of dialog here, but it's almost all in Roman text. If everyone
would use even just a little bit of Shavian in their postings, it would help
others as well as themselves for learning Shavian.

I don't currently have an email program capable of composing in html, but I can
always attach a self-composed html message, and it should show up inline (in the
same page) with the email. I'll make this one a test, and attach this entire
message in Shavian.
