Editing Shavian alphabet (section)

== Variants ==
=== Quikscript ===
{{MAIN|Quikscript}}

Some years after the initial publication of the Shaw alphabet, [[Ronald Kingsley Read|Read]] expanded it to create [[Quikscript]], also known as the Read Alphabet or the Second Shaw Alphabet. Quikscript is intended to be more useful for handwriting, and to that end is more cursive and uses more ligatures. It is also intended to be closer to [[shorthand]], with a "senior Quikscript" mode providing many more shortenings. Some letter forms are roughly the same in both alphabets, though the rotation symmetry of tall–deep pairs is sacrificed for connected handwriting. See the separate article for more details.

=== Shavian in Esperanto (Ŝava alfabeto) ===
[[File:La Sxava Alfabeto.svg|thumb|450x450px|The Shavian alphabet adapted to write Esperanto: alphabet and ligatures]]
An adaptation of Shavian to another language, [[Esperanto]], was developed by [[John Wesley Starling]]; though not widely used, at least one booklet has been published with transliterated sample texts.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://esperanto.us/sxava_alfabeto/ | title= La Ŝava Alfabeto | first=  Ĝan Ŭesli |last= Starling |language= Esperanto |trans-title= The Shavian Alphabet| website= esperanto.us | publisher= | date= | access-date= May 18, 2022}}</ref> As that language is already spelled phonemically, direct conversion between Latin and Shavian letters can be performed, though several ligatures are added for the common combinations of vowels with ''n'' and ''s'' and some common short words. Vowels use the letters of the orthographically equivalent short vowels in English (i.e. ''ă ĕ ĭ ŏ ŭ''), except that ''o'' and ''u'' are reversed, as are ''j'' and ''w''. The ''oo''-vowel letters are reassigned to ''m'' and ''n'', and the unneeded letters for ''th'' and ''ng'' are assigned to ''c'' and ''ĥ''.

=== Shaw Alphabet ===
{{Importance section|date=March 2025}}

In 1996, Paul Vandenbrink devised the self-styled Shaw Alphabet, or the Revised Shaw Abjad, which was further revised in 2001. It is based on the Hebrew script and makes many changes to the shapes and names of the letters, though it is largely unknown.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Revised Shaw Abjad |url=https://www.omniglot.com/conscripts/rsa.htm |access-date=2024-12-29 |website=www.omniglot.com}}</ref>
