Christish, Tangish and Taichuanish

Square Alphabet for English (Christish)

The Square Alphabet for English was invented by Christopher Yale Tang (唐泰川)
during a boring politics lesson in 2002. He had been wanting to create a secret
writing system for quite a while and just started doodling. The name of the
script comes from Christopher’s English name and it can be used to write English,
French and almost all Latin-alphabet-based languages. Christopher and a number
of his friends use Christish to write letters and messages to each other.

are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another
in a spirit of brotherhood.

Tangish

Christopher found that some of his friends were struggling with English and French,
so adapted Christish to write Chinese. The Chinese version is known as Tangish – the
name comes from his Chinese surname (唐).
