Crymeddau is an alternative alphabet for Welsh created by Simon Ager. It grew out of random scribbles and is not modelled on any particular alphabet, though some of the consonants shapes are based losely on the shapes made by the tongue, teeth and/or lips to produce them.
It is designed particularly for Welsh and includes separate letters for all Welsh consonants, including mutated ones, as well as long and short vowels. Diphthongs are written with combinations of vowels. It can also be used to write most other European languages. The name crymeddau is Welsh for "curves".

Genir pawb yn rhydd ac yn gydradd â'i gilydd mewn urddas a hawliau. Fe'u cynysgaeddir â rheswm a chydwybod, a dylai pawb ymddwyn y naill at y llall mewn ysbryd cymodlon.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They
are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another
in a spirit of brotherhood.
