Fonic

A phonoanalogic and phonosymbolic alphabet

Features

  1. Fonic is a universal alphabet, with which you can write all the languages of the world.
  2. Fonic is much simpler and clearer than current alphabets, including the English one.
  3. Fonic describes in its symbols the pronunciation of the phones they represent.
  4. Fonic encourages the awareness of articulatory processes related to the pronunciation of words.
  5. Fonic facilitates the study of foreign languages, because it allows their exact pronunciation.
  6. Fonic allows the writing and the correct pronunciation of even unknown sounds and symbols.

Goals

  1. Fonic is conceived as an alphabet for the precise phonetic transcription of any phone.
  2. Fonic is conceived as a common alphabet of exchange for communication between peoples.
  3. Fonic does not generate cultural subjection, because its symbols are not taken from any existing alphabet.

Performance

In order to be used as a common alphabet, a writing system must be:

  1. simple, to be currently used.
  2. composed of possibly unitary symbols, to be able to memorize them easily.
  3. universal, to transcribe the phones of any language.
  4. adaptable to the needs of individual languages.
  5. extensible, to permit adding new features.
  6. have a modular structure, which allows the construction of any phone production.
  7. singular, that is, composed of symbols other than those of the already existing alphabets.

Fonic owns all these characteristics, and has a basic phonoanalogic structure as well.
