Newcursive

Newcursive is a phonetic alphabet for writing English, particularly
English as pronunced with Received Pronunciation (RP). It was invented
by John Kay after he saw the Shaw alphabet for the first time and realised
that not only was it difficult for English speakers to adapt to because
the letters have little relationship with any English ones, but also
that it lacks a cursive version. Many of the consonants in Newcursive
are derived from their Latin equivalents, and the vowels are phonetic and
derived from the IPA equivalents.
