VMs: Voynich Script for English



I hadn't seen this before:

http://www.omniglot.com/writing/erikvoynich.htm

'This is an alphabet based on the script in the Voynich Manuscript invented by Erik Olsen, who has attempted to create parallels between the frequencies of letters in the manuscript and the English language so it would have a similar look. He also attempted to have some sort of logic among similar sounds, though sometimes for the sake of frequency some pairs aren't so logical.

'Notable features

* This is a phonetic alphabet
* Short forms for common words are acceptable. The ones Erik often uses are "dh" for "the", "n" for "in/on" and "th" for "with"'
