The Ath alphabet was created by Morioka Hiroyuki (森岡浩之), a Japanese Sci-Fi writer, and first appeared in his novel 星界の紋章 (Seikai no Monshō / The Crest of the Stars) in 1996. Some of the letters resemble Japanese hiragana or katakana. Seikai no Monshō has also been made into a series of anime (cartoons) and manga (comic books).
Baronh, a language spoken by the characters in Morioka's novels, and also in the anime and manga based on the novels. Morioka created the Baronh language for use by the Abh people in his books and modelled it losely on old Japanese from the 9th century AD.
In Seikai no Monshō (The Crest of the Stars), Japanese revolutionists seek to remove foreign influences from their language and revive ancient words and expressions, creating a "purified" version of Japanese. They established the colony that created the Abh people, and give them their language. The Abh were slaves at first, but after they are freed from slavery, their language changes quickly to become the version used in Morioka's novels. As slaves, they were forbidden from writing, but when they learn to write, they create an alphabet based on the Latin script with influences from Japanese scripts. They call this Ath, which means "letter", and Baronh means "language of the Abh".
