Alphabet 26

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alphabet 26 is a neography created by Bradbury Thompson in 1950, and first published in Westvaco Inspirations 180. Thompson designed Alphabet 26 to use only one symbol for each of the 26 letters, rather than having dissimilar upper- and lowercase symbols (such as 'A' and 'a'). This was intended to regularize the letters of the alphabet, making them more logical and intuitive, and also making learning the alphabet easier for children.

Alphabet 26 does not eliminate uppercase; however, uppercase letters are simply larger versions of their lowercase counterparts. The letters 'a', 'e' 'm' and 'n' utilize the standard lowercase symbols; for all other letters, the uppercase forms are used (although the uppercase and lowercase symbols for 'C', 'O', 'S', 'V', 'W', 'X' and 'Z' are the same in standard English orthography). The set of letters for Alphabet 26 thus appears:
