Tanar
The Tanar alphabet was invented by Tad Deffler for use in a role-playing
game, and mostly done as a lark. It was primary used for English transcriptions.
However, it also has symbols for Spanish consonants (such as ñ) and vowels (such
as un-diphthonged long o).
There are two versions of Tanar: the Tanar-Vernacular alphabet, which is
a 26-letter alternative alphabet for English, and Tanar-Formal, a 61-letter
phonetic alphabet.
