    About this ebook

    This is a phonetic alphabet invented by the author of this article. It contains symbols for 44 sounds expressed in the ordinary font you see every day. Here is an example phrase: Dhu kwik brown foks jumps ohver dhu layzee dog. Another: Now iz dhu tiym fawr awl gued men and wimen too kum too dhee ayd uv dhear pahrtee. It's good for recording how names sound and foreign talks can be made.

      Writing In Rhythm

      Jun 19, 2019

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta
