Midlander alphabet 
Origin
Midlander is a phonetic alphabet created by Erik Ruser for use in
a series of fantasy novels currently being written by his friend Eric
Vargo. The alphabet was created for a language by the same name which
is currently under development by Eric, but it can also be used to
approximate English as well as most European languages.
Notable features
- Midlander is a cursive script in which each word is written as
a continuous line.
- Midlander is an abjad (Vowels are written as diacritical marks).
- For every voiced consonant there is an unvoiced equivalent, and vice versa
- The letter r [ɹ] is considered a vowel.
- Midlander can be written in any direction with any orientation,
though left to right is most common. The start of sentence symbol
carries no phonetic value, but rather indicates the orientation of
the inscription.
- The sound [h] is considered an unvoiced vowel.
- A bar over two consecutive vowel markings indicates that the vowels
should be pronounced together as a diphthong.
