Navlipi
Navlipi, which means “new script” in Sanskrit and the Sanskrit-descendant languages of the Indian subcontinent, is a phonemic script (alphabet).
The script was published as a book by Prasanna Chandrasekhar, consisting of two volumes, by Branden Books in 2012. It was also published as a United States patent by Chandrasekhar on August 20, 2013.[1]
The script has been generally well received by critics and academics, most notably by Mark Newbrook,[2] S.R.S. Jaafar,[3] and Nicholas Ostler (included as a foreword in the book version).
Background[edit]
Navlipi is based on the Roman (Latin) script, in which English is written. In addition to the 26 letters of the Roman script, Navlipi uses just five new or transformed letters (glyphs).
Although it emphasizes phonemic expression, Navlipi is also a phonetic script, presumably able to transcribe the sounds of languages from across the world.
