The Latin alphabet is useless for describing the English language. We're constantly having to use combinations of letters to express single sounds! That's why the Shavian alphabet - or Shaw alphabet - was invented.
It was designed as part of a competition paid for by George Bernard Shaw, via money left in his will. Its 48 characters represent every sound you can think of in the English language. It's more efficient and it's easy on the eye too.
