Cló Gaelach / Lámh Gaelach

Cló Gaelach means Gaelic print. Lámh Gaelach is the same thing but handwritten, it means Gaelic Hand. It's not an alternative to the Latin alphabet, just a dialect of it, like how German was written in Blackletter up until quite recently. Most letters are similar to the boring mainstream print, but T (Ꞇ), G (Ᵹ) and D (Ꝺ) are quite distinctive, and the letter H is not used.

There is no aspirated h (h as a consonant) in Irish, it's used to mark softened phonemes, so m represents one consonant and mh in Cló Rómánach (Roman print) represents a softer sound. Cló Gaelach favours the superdot ṁ instead of using h.

This is the part of constitution declaring Irish the official language of the country, with English a secondary official language:

The government phased it out for official use in the 1970s because they are idiots. I still use it when I can, I never write Irish by hand without it.

Ogham

Using what we've just seen, we can call it 'oġam' instead of 'ogham'. It's not a G-sound then a H-sound; it's a soft G more like English 'owam'.

Ogham is much older. It was used around the year 400. It is a tree-themed alphabet, branches coming off a central column, and the letters mostly have names like 'birch', 'oak', 'hazel. Ogham is climbed as a tree is climbed, which is to say it's written bottom to top. It was created by the god Ogma; similar to how Thoth created writing in Egypt. An 14th-century text called In Lebor Ogaim talks about various ways of putting ciphers upon it. Posts about ogham: https://lemmy.ml/post/16545296 , https://lemmy.ml/post/18046303

Ogham tattoos are common enough nowadays.

I hadn't heard about them until now. Here's a Wikipedia article.

As a parent teaching kids to read, I'd love an alphabet that didn't have the stupid ambiguities of current English. Trying to explain to a kid that "c" can make a few different sounds is a pain in the butt.

Does one two one representations of the Latin alfabet count? In such case I'd mention a cipher used in Sweden called "brädgårdschiffer". Here is "hej på dig!" written using brädgårdschiffer with my very sloppy writing on my phone:

It's decrypted by matching up the shape and amount of dots with the letters in the key below. You look at the edges around the letters and the dots above that square.

I do however think that this chiffer probably exists outside of Sweden under some other name and other letters included (note that W and Q aren't included in the key. They aren't really used for in Swedish, apart from loans from other languages)

I dabbled in shorthand (particularly Melin's system) for a bit. Never got up a usable speed, but I'm convinced I would have been unbeatable in uni if I had.

There's this pretty handy script me and folks around use for numbers, we call it Arabic numerals, even if the Arabs call them "hindian numerals". They're pretty handy. Beats roman numerals at everything but looking classy!

Hindi and many other Indian regional languages frequently use the Latin script on electronic devices for casual communication.

For example, Kya haal hai -> क्या हाल है? -> how's it going?

I don't even know how to type the original script version.

There were some that were made for french to make the orthography of words easier. They use accents generally. I do not use them and I do not know anyone that uses them.
