Pulmis

Pulmis was invented by Bobby Morris as alternative alphabet for English.
It’s designed to be as structurally simple as possible whilst maintaining
a kind of phonetic meaning in the symbols. The name “pulmis” is a modified
rearrangement of the word “simple”.

Notable features

  • Type of writing system: alphabet
  • Direction of writing: left to right
  • Voiced and unvoiced consonants are mirror images.
  • M and N are combinations of B&P and D&T respectively.
  • The progression B-V-D is designed to mimic the “journey” they make back
    into the mouth (similar with Z-G). The T/Th and S/Sh similarity is observed too.

Transliteration

“May the Great God whom I worship grant to my Country
and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious victory
and may no misconduct in any one tarnish it
and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature of the British fleet”
