The Shavian alphabet (or Shaw alphabet) was posthumously created as an alphabet for the English language, intended to replace Latin. Each character in the Shavian Alphabet requires only a single stroke to be written on paper. The Shaw alphabet was later evolved by its designer Kingsley Read into Quickscript (also known as the Read alphabet and Second Shaw).
