Erm

The Erm Script is an alternative way to write English invented by Jeffy Huang. It is based mainly on the classical Mongolian script, with some influences from the Arabic script.

Notable Features

Type of writing system: Alphabet / Abjad
Writing direction: top to bottom in vertical columns running from left to right.

There is no c letter: s, k, or sh can be used instead.
Letters always connect if possible.
Diacritic forms for vowels are always written, and are always used if possible (right next to the preceding consonant).
Double consonants have a diacritic to represent them.
Consonants are grouped together based on sound and each group has a specific glyph as a base; dots and bumps denote sub groups and specific letters within said groups.
