Efkolia

The Efkolia script was invented by Rafael Machado, to be easier to read texts in Germanic, Romance and Uralic languages. It is a simpler style of alphabet, easy to write, and influenced by the Cyrillic and Greek alphabets.

Notable features

Type of writing system: alphabet
Writing direction: left to right in horizontal lines
Used to write: Germanic, Romance and Uralic languages
The vowels (except the i) are formed by the letter O (oof) and have the largest points (granponts) that are positioned in their corresponding places. The front vowels have two points (pequenponts) below or above the "oof", or one point on the left of the "oof". The back vowels have one point on the right of the "oof".
Some consonants are formed by the addition of a caron: j = g with caron, p = b with caron), t = d with caron and z = s with caron. The consonant v is formed by the addition of a macron on b.
