TPA1 Demonstration

  As an addendum to the The Human Script, I thought I'd include a demonstration of what I created after the fashion of my favorite language/script site, Omniglot. Below is a sample of Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in three different forms.

From the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

  The first section is my script, TPA1 (Terran Phonetic Alphabet 1). I used the English-biased version since it's a lot easier to pick up and use as a native English speaker and typist. You can find the font file for it in The Human Script post.

  The second section is the short hand way I mapped phonetic English to a keyboard. ('E' is a long 'e', 'S' is a 'sh', 'T' is a hard 'th' - as in "them", 'D' is a soft 'th' as in "three", and so on. You can see the full mapping in the original post.)

  The final section is the Latin alphabet version of Article 1 of the Declaration of Human Rights.

  They'd all be read roughly the same way, this image is just meant to illustrate what the script looks like.
