The Shavian alphabet or Shaw alphabet. Youโve either never heard of it, love it, or smugly dismiss it. Guess which category I fit in. Brought to you by the guy (he/him) behind Shavian.info

29.06.2025 07:19 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Thanks @www.zoeblade.com Itโs always wonderful to see the Shavian alphabet getting more use. Also, I love your music.
I will add those words to the ReadLex.
I have also updated:
- the ReadLex predictive text model
- the Shaw QWERTY layout with subtle improvements e.g. to display the longpress letters on touch screens
- the Shaw Imperial keyboard layout with subtle improvements
Open the Keyman app to get the updates.
www.shavian.info/keyboards/
I have released a new Shavian keyboard layout, 'Shaw JAFL', for use with the Keyman app.
The layout has been designed with carpalx to minimise typing effort, with common letters in the home row and compound letters built up by typing their parts (e.g. ๐ฉ + ๐ฎ = ๐ผ).

Is the sense that the bird caused the flower to fall?
22.06.2025 20:26 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Oh, it was just โShavian Dada is an amazing ideaโ. The Shavian alphabet has a few users even today, perhaps more than ever. Whether this is seriously absurd or absurdly serious, I leave up to you.

Google Translate does a hilariously bad job of translating haiku. It translated ้ดฌใใๆคฟ่ฝใใฆใ่ฟฏใฆ่ก cryptically as โDrop the eel and the camellia and goโ, which had me in stitches. I think it really means something like โThe nightingale lands on the camellia then flits awayโ.
Try it on some haiku yourself!

15.06.2025 09:15 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yes, I'm still on the Fediverse too, but succumbed to the lure of discoverability.
12.06.2025 12:08 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It's mostly uncontroversial outside speakers of North American English. North Americans learn to distinguish the Shavian letters by stress which is correct in the vast majority of cases. For Australians like me, not distinguishing /ษ/ and /ส/ is almost unthinkable.
