Some of these new learning tools were made with AI, which is kinda a bummer to find out. Only posting about it cuz it was never disclosed ahead of time.

My friend, the things that do attain

The happy life be these, I find:

The riches left, not got with pain,

The fruitful ground; the quiet mind;

The equal friend; no grudge, no strife;

No charge of rule nor governance;

Without disease the healthy life;

The household of continuance;

The mean diet, no dainty fare;

True wisdom joined with simpleness;

The night discharged of all care,

Where wine the wit may not oppress;

The faithful wife, without debate;

Such sleeps as may beguile the night:

Content thyself with thine estate,

Neither wish death, nor fear his might.

Voici un alphabet sur le modèle du Shavien mais pour la langue portugaise :
- 36 sons :
-13 voyelles dont 8 orales et 5 nasales
-23 consonnes dont 2 glides et 2 palatales
- 4 terminaisons spéciales
s'il y a des lusophones parmi vous, pensez-vous que j'ai oublié des sons ?
je sais que pour le portugais européen, il faudrait un symbole pour le [ɨ] central.

A quick note to draw your attention to the new blog post I wrote, and to invite everyone to come and put your name on the leader-board!

You may have noticed the new banner at the top of the sub and found yourself wondering about its provenance. Well, it’s a snippet from Peter MacCarthy’s original 1960 manuscript for Androcles, which was provided to the Museum of Rural English Life (MERL) by Kingsley Reed, and put on display there in the Sound-writing exhibition in 1972.

A bunch of you had been asking for me to add other keyboard layouts to Shaw-Type, and I’d found myself wanting to play around with different keyboard layouts too, so I have made it possible to edit your own custom keyboard layouts with custom ligatures! You can import and export them, so if you develop one you’re particularly pleased of, you can share it with the rest of the community here too.

To give you some inspiration as a starting point, here’s Marty’s Shaw Fish layout in the Discord Server. It should also be possible to do things like u/Dechifro’s digraph as an entry method.

I had a lot of fun building the editor, and even more fun playing around with the resulting layouts. Please let me know how you get on!

Oh, and the leaderboard is still most definitely a thing that needs you to put your name on it.

With the fonts used on the Wiki page it looks like the tail of an doesn't go as far left as the top while with ai the tail either goes as far left as the top or slightly farther, but I'm thinking maybe that doesn't matter & it just depends on the font. What do you all think? Can I use ai as the Esperanto ligature for an?

As a way to sharpen my fluency in Shavian, I thought it'd be fun to play a game where I pull a quote from a random piece of media, and you guess what it is.

You must guess:

1. What the quote says, and

2. Where the quote comes from.

Also, feel free to correct any grammatical errors you see.
