Description:
BACKGROUND 1. Field of Invention This invention relates to the development of a phonetic alphabet for English and the design of a keyboard for this alphabet. 2. Prior Art The history of the English language is rich. It has been influenced by many foreign languages, economic and educational class distinctions, the discovery of new worlds, the creation of new inventions, and the mere passage of time. Spoken and written English have evolved but not always in a parallel fashion. If spoken and written English were compared to two railroad rails, we would observe that the rail representing spoken English twists and turns and changes rapidly as it adapts to changes in the linguistic landscape. However, the rail representing written English changes ever so slowly as it is mired in tradition, foreign spellings, silent letters, and archaic, un-phonetic spellings. The result of the two non-parallel rails of spoken and written English is a virtual linguistic train wreck. Recognition of this problem with the English language is not new. Many attempts have been made to bring written and spoken English together. Proponents include such diverse personalities as Samuel Clements, George Bernard Shaw and President Theodore Roosevelt. Many names have been giv including, Phonic Shorthand, Phonography, RITE Spell, Truespel, Unifon, Shavian, RES positional spelling, and Simplified Spelling. However, no alternative system for spelling English has won acceptance. As a result, countless additional hours are spent learning to read, write and spell a language which is written in a form that is inconsistent with the language's pronunciation. The learning of written English by native speakers is unnecessarily laborious and complex, but the task is incrementally difficult for the millions who are learning English as a second or third language. In commerce, government, entertainment, education, and in all other areas of human endeavor, English is becoming the pervasive language of communication. It is likely that we have reached a point at which more people communicate in English as a second language than communicate in English as native speakers. English, in this era, is the primary means for communication among different peoples. Is it important that we communicate well and accurately? Is it important that we understand each other? If this communication and understanding are important, then it is imperative that we make English as learnable as possible. DETAILS OF PRIOR ART What is the current state-of-the-art spelling of English? A detailing of just some of the inconsistencies in current English spelling is listed below:
1. English has 26 letters but 40 sounds. (The exact number of sounds depends on the dialect which is analyzed.)
2. There are 6 vowels but 16 vowel or diphthong sounds. (Here again, there are dialectic differences.)
3. There are 26 letters but 45 configurations of those letters in just one font.
a. AaBbCDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOPpQqRrSTtUuVWXYyZ
4. The same vowel is pronounced in different ways or completely silent.
a. A, aas in ableabsentaboutallroadwardb. E, eas in egoeditagentmadebeauc. I, ias in icefitpencilsuiteightbuniond. O, oas in godogforatomwhowomanwomene. U, uas in ruinbutfurcircusbuttef. Y, yas in byhappynymph
5. The same vowel sound is spelled in different ways. The “long U” sound is spelled 23 different ways as indicated below:
a.tob.tooc.twod.bluee.flewf.troupeg.suith.flui.canoej.throughk.rulel.lieum.loosen.loseo.poohp.coupq.bruiser.mousses.silhouettet.buoyu.deucev.sleuthw.rendezvous
6. Consonants and consonant blends represent different sounds or no sound at all.
a. B, bas inbedcombb. C, cas incarcityscentc. Ch, chas inchurchChicagoacheyachtd. D, das indogjudgecordiale. F, fas inforoff. G, gas ingogemroughgnarlespionageamongg. H, has inheoughtaphidh.

Th, thas inthisthankq. W, was inwinwrongr. X, xas inexitxylophoneexalts. Y, yas inyesby (a vowel)say
In summary, given that
1. many English letters have two distinct configurations (capital and small case),
2. the same letter is pronounced a number of different ways, and
3. the same pronounced sound is frequently represented
1. a new system for spelling English could be developed that is more consistent with the pronunciation of English, and
2. the adoption of such a system would make the learning of spelling, reading and writing English much easier.
OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES NUSPeL Orthography is a system of phonetic spelling that makes spoken and written English into one consistent language that is easier to learn. It uses the following twenty guidelines:
1. The number of letter configurations is reduced from 45 to 37. One does not need to learn that D and d are the same letter with the same sound. Likewise, with A and a, B and b, E and e, F and f, G and g, etc.
2. The large case (capital letters) and the small case letters are identical except for size. Large case letters are A,B,C,D,E, etc. Small case letters are A,B,C,D,E etc.
3. NUSPeL has 18 of the 19 consonants looking just like they look now. B,D,F,G,H,J,K,L,M,N,P,R,S,T,V,W,Y, and Z.
4. The one new consonant is “” as in wing and sing. This letter only exists in the small case.
5. There are no double consonants unless both consonants are heard. Examples: bookkeeper (Yes, a double consonant.) bill (No.)
6. There are f three of them are identical to some of their current uses. “CH” as church and chip, not as in Chicago and ache. “SH”, as is shed and dish. “TH” as in thin and bath not as in this and that.
7. The two new consonant blends are “TH” and “ZH”. “TH” as mentioned above in words such as “this” and “that”. “ZH” is the blend in measure and azure.
8. There are 14 vowel sound therefore, NUSPeL has 14 vowel letters and two diphthong letters.
9. The “long” vowel sounds are represented by the “capital” cases of the five traditional vowels. “A” as in ape. “E” as in eel. “I” as in ice. “O” as in oh. “U” as in ooze.
10. The “short” vowel sounds are represented by small cases of four of the traditional vowels. “a” as in am. “e” as in elm. “i” as in it. “U” as in up.
11. The vowel sound in autumn, all, and art is represented by the letter “”, which many native speakers learned in elementary school handwriting
12. The vowel sound in book and look and shook is represented by the letter “?”. This letter exists only in the small case.
13. The vowel sound in oar and bore is represented by the letter “{dot over (O)}”. This letter is always followed by the letter “R”.
14. The vowel sound in hurt and fur is represented by the letter “{dot over (u)}”. This letter is always followed by the letter “R”.
15. The vowel sound in ago, agent, pencil, atom and circus is represented by the letter “u”. This vowel sound is particularly pervasive. Its sound is quite similar to the “u”, but less vocalized and exists only in unaccented syllables.
16. The diphthong vowel sound in owl and about is represented by the letter “”.
17. The diphthong vowel sound in boy and oink is represented by the letter “”.
18. All syllables contain one vowel or diphthong, but only one.
19. There are no apostrophes used to show possession or word contractions.
Possession: No more “John's” or “Jill's” or “man's” or “women's”.
Contractions: No more “it's” or “we're” or “they're” or “can't”.
20. The other rules of punctuation remain the same as they are now.
Accordingly, the NUSPeL alphabet is presented as:
1. a simplified alphabet with
a. thirty-seven distinct letters, with
b. upper and lower case letters having identical configurations but different only in their size, with
c. twenty-eight letters selected from the current alphabet, and nine modified or new l AA,aa, d(1 J aJ, BB, CC, DD, EE,ee, FF, GG, HH, Ii, ii, JJ, KK, LL, MM, NN, N, Oo, Oo, (E im Pp, RR, Ss, TT, TT, Uu, Uu, tt, Uu, Vv, Ww, YY, Zz.

SUMMARY Accordingly, one can observe the following:
NUSPeL Orthography is a new system for spelling E
it is a system that consistently uses a combination of existing letters and new letters to represent the spoken sounds in E
it provides a spelling system that employs primarily existing letters and minimizes “foreignness”;
it is a system that is easily accommodated by a standard keyboar
it is a system that is amenable to word-processing on computers.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF NUSPeL KEYBOARD The development of NUSPeL Orthography logically requires a keyboard that would enable the word processing of English in NUSPeL. Accordingly, below is the design for the NUSPEL keyboard.

it provides a spelling system that employs primarily existing letters and minimizes “foreignness”;
it is a spelling system that is easily accommodated by a standard keyboar
it is a spelling system that is amenable to word-pro
it is a spelling system that is consistent with the pronunciation of E
it is a spelling system whose consistency would make learning to read and write English easier than it is using the current spelling system.
Although the description above contains many specifications, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing an illustration. For example, the size and the design of the exact location of the letters on the keyboard can vary, etc. Thus the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the illustrations given.
