Hi Star
I guess the key question is whether Carl can use his subset of the
Shavian Alphabet in an understandable way.
If he simplifies his word choice to exclude words with the all the
funny sounds, it might actually be possible.
He might end up sounding like a robot, tho.
I once heard of an English author who wrote a whole book
without using the letter "e", until he got to
"The end"
Personally, I need more than 38 myself.
But let Carl try, and we can critique the result.
Regards, Paul V.
P.S. Da Shep seems to be saying G.B.S. was not of one mind on the
exact number of letters needed for British English. And I suspect
American English Speakers can get by with even less.

Hi Paul,

It's been over a year since I've last heard from you. I like your idea for adding "el" the Elmo letter. My name Carl, would include that letter at the end. It's kinda like "er" but with a "l" instead. With Elmo I wouldn't have to use an "ado" before the "l". It guess if you could make those two letters you suggested into a system. You could use the "wh" from Quickscript, and "el" from you nifty Revised Shavian. Which reminds me I still need to learn that system. The only obstacle is find the Shavian equivalents to it so that I can master it. Especially, with those vowels.

Best of Regards,

Carl (Shavian Enthusiast)

Hi Carl
I have agree with you on the names, altho I ame not so happy to
reduce the letters. In fact, I'd like to add a couple letters. In
particular, a Wh letter called Whale and a "el" called Elmo for the
stand-alone l-sound, you find at the end of some words. (i.e. girl,
table)
I wouldn't mind losing Ian.

I also pronounce Egg as a different sound from what it supposed to
represent. Echo works better for me.
I also pronounce the word Err, the same as Air, so I would prefer
that Shavian letter to be called Urge or Ergo. Or even Earl.
Have you seen the show, "My name is Earl"?
Keep up the good work.

The technique is called a lipogram, and the book is Ernest Vincent
Wright's Gadsby (1939). It would be interesting, then in that vein, to
see how Shavian can be handled excluding a phoneme.

Hi Carl
Nice to hear from you too. I was out of circulation for a month or
so with Appendicitis and infection, but now I feel almost as good as
new. Sorry we got out of touch.
I am interested to see if I can read your conversations in the
Shavian Subset.
I personally don't use Ian or On in my particular subset of the
Shavian Alphabet for American speakers. I could just as easily use
the letter On and skip using the Ah, which are indistinguishable in
my General American accent, but I think there are a number of good
reasons to do it the other way around.
First a practical reason. Because of my mild dylexia I find it hard
to consistently interpret, Ado, Ash, On and Egg. Removing one of
these signs from common use greatly improves my odds of recognising
the other 3 correctly.
Second a logical reason. Ah and Awe make a nicely matched pair of
sounds, that I hesitate to break up. Whereas On and Egg don't seem
to have anything in common.
Thirdly a British reason.
The lower British sound of On, found in names like James Bond, is
rarely used in American English speech. We tend to use the Ah sound
instead, for words with a short soft "o".
Regards, Paul V.
P.S. I have been trying to make a revised Shavian that is more
approachable, and eliminates some of the vowel variations, that
occurs in in different English accents. I try to use the minimal
number of vowel letters.
Ergo the introduction of the Elmo letter.
I also make greater use of Ado whenever practical.

Hi Paul,

I originally designed Shavian 38, as a parallel to the Deseret's 38 letters. Of course I had to reassign some of the Deseret letters so as to make room for "oil" and "ado". The 38 Phonemes of the Utahn Dialect make Shavian a perfect match for Shavian 38. And since I'm a Utahn, it just makes sense. One of the obvious problems people might have Shavian 38 is that it doesn't have any ligatures, like Traditional Shavian has. I guess you could include the rhotic-ligatures and "Elmo" to Shavian 38. Especially, since Utahn is a Rhotic Dialect. And we use the Elmo ("ado"+ "loll") alot too.

My Understanding of Shavian, is that it was originally designed for the Brittish Dialect of English, but with the Rhotic ligatures (which are very useful for American English).
So of course the Brittish have more phonemes than the Americans.

My hypothesis of Utahn having so few Phonemes is that the second Language of Utah is Spanish, and Spanish has fewer phonemes than English. Just a guess though. And of course we had in our history a lot of foreign speaking immigrants from Northern Europe, who had to quickly learn English as they settled the land. Just another guess, too, though.

I'll write more latter.

Best of Regards,

Carl (Shavian Enthusiasts)

P.S. Hey, Paul, if your interested we could start a yahoo discussion group, to discuss our interests and commonalities beyond Shavian.

Hi Carl
Nice to hear that you are progressing with your sub-set of Shavian.
I myself would not limit myself to just 38.
Deseret had 38 for the English spoken 150 years ago.
You might need a few more for today's spoken English.
I guess we will just have to see how well it works.

I agree the On letter is only necessary for British accented English.

As you can see the benefit of Elmo, why not the same benefit for the
Shavian letter "Array" which is equivalent to your "ado" + "roar"
Ah+array = "are"
Eat+array ="ear"
Echo+array="Air"
Ado+array or even just array="Err/Urge"
Ice+array="Ire" as in fire
Out+array="Our/Hour"

And do you use
"Awe+array" for "Or"
or maybe "Oak+array"
I prefer the first combination, because then there would be no
confusion between words like "sore" and "sower of wheat"
In a lot of English words, you would just use a plain "er" sound,
where the Array letter would be perfect.

Anyway, maybe you can transliterate something into your subset of a
Shavian, and then I can better judge how readable it is.
