Inspired alphabet

The Inspired alphabet was invented by Bob Weiland in October, 2006. He called the script "inspired" because the entire script was completed in two minutes.

Notable features

It is written from left to right in horizontal lines.
Each letter has two forms: one is for normal use; the other is used at the end of words, which is simply the normal letter with a loop at the end.
It is used to write English.
It is a cursive script.
Each consonant is represented by one vertical line, either curved or straight, with or without a hook.
Generally, the letters whose cursive connector is attached to the top of the letter are voiced consonants.
Generally, the letters whose cursive connector is attached to the bottom of the letter are unvoiced.
The vowels are written as diacritical marks under the consonant.
It is fast and easy to learn.
