Empisava

Empisava was created by Joseph J. Barretto in 2006 in an attempt
to create: a vertical script that distinguished between consonant and
vowel forms without the use of diacritics; a writing system that indicated
the grammatical relationships of words (or phrases) within a sentence; and
a system that appended punctuation to the end of words rather than having
discrete forms

Notable Features

• Written in vertical columns running from left to right and top to bottom
• Empisava is dedicated to a little girl named Emma, on the occasion
  of her first birthday. Pisava means “script” in Slovene.
• Used to write: English
