Arèìdansk

The Arèìdansk alphabet was invented by the linguist and philologist Carmelo Lupini to write his conlang, Arèìdansk, which is a possible evolution of an Indo-European dialect. Arèìdansk has two writing systems: an alphabet, Levkes krimanàdin (“Script of Light”), and an abugida, Devporix krimanàdin (“Script of the city of gods”). The former is used to write Gnostic texts, the latter is used to write Vedic and Buddhist texts.

Notable features

Type of writing system: alphabet with combinable diacritic signs to indicate the type of sound: a little "half moon”" for aspirated sounds, a circle for sonorization.
Direction of writing: left to right (horizontally)
Used to write: Arèìdansk (a conlang). Could be adapted to write some European languages like Italian, Spanish, Greek, Russian and German.

Arèìdansk alphabet

The alphabets consists of 33 characters. 15 have diacritical marks and 9 express a double sound. The alphabetical order is as follows:

Notes

Mobile characters can appear under certain conditions, but never at the beginning of words. The first is inserted between certain groups of consonants to facilitate pronunciation, but isn't always pronounced.
An apostrophe normally indicates the vowel elision.
A dot over a letter, or a grave accent in the transliteration, indicates the tonic vowel with slight tonal lowering
