Editing Constructed writing system (section)

===Language reform===
Some constructed scripts are intended to replace existing writing systems. In the mid-1800s, [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] promoted the [[Deseret alphabet]] as an alternative writing system [[Phonemic orthography|better suited]] to English phonology;<ref name="Moore2006">{{Cite web|url=http://web.chem.ucla.edu/~jericks/Historical%20or%20Technical/History%20Looking%20Backwards/Magazine%20articles/The%20Religious%20Educator/Deseret%20Alphabet%20Experiment2.pdf|title=The Deseret Alphabet Experiment|last=Moore|first=Richard G.|year=2006|website=Religious Studies Center|publisher=Brigham Young University|access-date=2017-01-06|archive-date=31 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170131191507/http://web.chem.ucla.edu/~jericks/Historical%20or%20Technical/History%20Looking%20Backwards/Magazine%20articles/The%20Religious%20Educator/Deseret%20Alphabet%20Experiment2.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>{{rp|65–66}} roughly a century later, the estate of Irish playwright [[George Bernard Shaw]] commissioned the [[Shavian alphabet]] (later developed into [[Quikscript]]) to serve similar aims.<ref name= "Weintraub">{{cite ODNB |last1=Weintraub |first1=Stanley |title=Shaw, George Bernard |url=https://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-36047 |doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/36047 |isbn=978-0-19-861412-8 |access-date=17 July 2022}}</ref><ref name = "Androcles">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/AndroclesAndTheLion_ShawAlphabetEdition|title=The Shaw Alphabet Edition of Androcles and the Lion|last=Shaw|first=Bernard|publisher=Penguin Books Ltd.|year=1962|isbn=|location=Harmondsworth, Middlesex, England|pages=9–11}}</ref>{{rp|9–11}} Graphic Designer [[Bradbury Thompson]]'s [[Bradbury Thompson#Alphabet 26|Alphabet 26]] represents a similar project. (see also: [[English-language spelling reform]]). Taking language reform further, various proposed [[Philosophical language|philosophical]] or [[International auxiliary language|auxiliary languages]]- such as [[aUI (constructed language)|aUI]], [[Solresol]], and the language outlined in [[John Wilkins]]' 1668 ''[[An Essay Towards a Real Character, and a Philosophical Language]]'' have associated writing systems. [[Charles K. Bliss]]'s [[Blissymbols]] represent a proposed international auxiliary language whose primary mode is written rather than spoken.<ref name="Bliss">Bliss, C. K. (1965).
