Phonetic Spelling: A Proposed Universal Alphabet for the Rendering of English, French, German and All Other Forms of Speech (1913)

Phonetic Spelling: A Proposed Universal Alphabet For The Rendering Of English, French, German And All Other Forms Of Speech (1913) is a book written by Harry Hamilton Johnston. The book proposes a universal alphabet for the rendering of various languages including English, French, German, and others. The author argues that the current spelling systems of these languages are inconsistent and confusing, leading to difficulties in learning and communication. The proposed universal alphabet is based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and aims to simplify and standardize the spelling of words. The book includes detailed explanations and examples of the proposed alphabet, as well as its potential benefits for language learners and communicators. Published in 1913, this book is still relevant today as a resource for those interested in phonetics and language standardization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
