Enganagri alphabet   Enganagri alphabet

The Enganagri alphabet was invented by David Kelley as an alternative alphabet for English. It was modelled on the Devanagari alphabet with influence from the Korean alphabet.

There are a number of different ways of writing English with Enganagri. The main difference between them is in the representation of vowels and diphthongs.

The version below is the comprehensive form, which was developed to represent all the sounds of the English language, including both Standard American and British Received pronunciation. The vowels, here, attempt to replicate English speech rather than English spelling. The example text represents the pronunciation of Standard American.
