Davé

The Davé alphabet was invented by Robert Holley as a way to write his Spanish-based conlang, Davesh. It could also be used to write English and Spanish, and perhaps other languages.

The alphabet is written with a single horizontal line connecting all the letters and words, in a similar way to Devanagari. Words are separated by a short vertical line through the horizontal line. Periods, question marks and exclamation points are indicated by circles on the horizontal line or below it.

Notable features
