Messerussian
The Messerussian alphabet was created by Devin Lester and was modelled on the
Tengwar, Latin and Devanagari alphabets. He also invented a language
with the same name which is based on a mixture of Slavic, Ural-altaic and
Turkic languages.
Orignally Messerussian was intended as a language for Devin and three
others to replace English as their primary means of communication. It
has worked better than he expected, and he has recieved requests from
people outside the group to learn the language.
