Grand Alphabet of English, German and Russian

The Grand Alphabet was created by Matthew Whitaker in order to write English, German and Russian. Matthew's aim is to unify the alphabets of these languages to enable speakers of each to read the others without too much difficulty. He chose these languages because his native language is English, he is studying German and is interested in Russian.
