Eiyanae

Eiyanae is an alternative alphabet for English created by Gariÿ Miktjijael Pestriÿkofv. He made this alphabet when he was 14 years old and based it losely on the Thai alphabet. As the vowels are placed above or below the consonants, texts in this alphabet take up less space than in the Latin alphabet, and Gariÿ used it mostly for notes to save space.
