On the Ning Nang Nong

On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There's a Nong Nang Ning 
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang 
All the mice go Clang 
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong
is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

Dear friends,
Just a note. My health is messed up, and I am preparing to have a
pacemaker implanted soon to control Congestive Heart Failure.
I have not been able to do much with the Shavian projects, but we did
make a discovery that may be of interest to you. One of the things that has
helped my remedial reading students who use Shavian, including dyslexics, is
the presence of the line of writing, which is missing in most fonts that are
available for the computer.
There appears to be more confusion than necessary with the forms of
letters, because readers cannot easily tell if a letter is tall or deep. It
has helped us to write a bottom stroke, for example, on the "p" letter, so
that readers can tell that it is a tall letter, and a stroke on the top of
the "d" letter to show that the letter is deep. These are not the only
problems for dyslexics, but the stroke helps. The stroke is simply a
representation of the line of writing to locate the letter.
There are still problems with the vowel letters, but I think they can be
remedied without going to the extreme of abandoning Shavian for some kind of
Read alphabet of later design. In leaving out the location of a letter with
regard to the line of writing a lot of problems occur that are not an
artifact of the system itself. I think we have forgotten that the
orientation of the letters to the line of writing is as important in their
design as is their shape. I hope that people haven't continued to abandoned
the original alphabet we were using, and so hopelessly dividing the
"Shavian" community.
I am not able to do a lot of Shavian transcription lately, because of
the heart problem. I am working with a committee on a new, easy-to-read
translation of the New Testament into Urdu. This takes up quite a lot of
time. I would say, in closing, that new readers don't want to read overly
simple things. Though they are often new to reading, they are intelligent
people who think profoundly. Dyslexia doesn't make a person an idiot!
I wish you well in your continued efforts. Good work, Hal!!
Fr. Daniel Szczurek

Fr. Dan isn't the only one on this list with cardiac problems - I'll probably
be having open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve in the next few
weeks. My wife will post progress notes on our Web site at

Just heard the Knoxville Opera Company do Gilbert and Sullivan's "HMS

On February 12, 1993 a small boy who was to turn three
on March was taken from a shopping centre in Liverpool
by two 10 year old boys.
Jamie Bulger walked away from his mother for only
a second and Jon Venables took his hand and led him
out of the mall with his friend Robert Thompson.
They took Jamie on a walk for over 2 and a half miles,
along the way stopping every now and again to torture
the poor little boy who was crying constantly for his
mummy. Finally they stopped at a railway track where
they brutally kicked him and threw stones at him and
rubbed paint in his eyes and pushed batteries up his
anus. They then left his beaten small body on the
tracks so a train could run him over to hide the
mess they had created. These two boys, even being boys
understood what they did was wrong, hence trying to
make it look like an accident. This week Lady Justice
Butler-Sloss has awarded the two boys anonymity for
the rest of their lives when they leave custody with
new identities.
We cannot let this happen. They will also leave early
this year only serving just over half of their
sentence. One paper even stated that Robert may go on
to University. They are getting away with their crime.
They need to pay, and we have to do something to make
them pay for their horrific crime. They took Jamie's
life violently away, and in return they get a new
life. Please add your name and location to the list
and
forward to friends and family. Please copy this email
instead of forwarding so we do not get at the
beginning of sentences. If you are the 200th person to
sign please forward this email to ser.cs@gtnet.gov.uk

again and sent to your friends and family. The
Love-Bug virus took less that 72 hours to reach the
world. I hope this one does too. We need to protect
our family and friends from creatures like Robert and
Jon. One day they may be living next to you and your
small
children without your knowledge. If Robert and Jon
could be so evil at 10, imagine what they could do as
adults?

No disrespect meant to the person who forwarded this but this kind of thing really winds me up.

 

In the first place this post is wildly off topic.  (You could at least have transliterated it.)

 

In the second place the judgment of Lady Butler-Sloss was not this week.  It was nearly a year ago.  Other than that I wont comment on the content of the post.

 

In the third place email petitions of this kind are highly inefficient in achieving their stated objective.  They are, however, highly efficient in generating large amounts of unnecessary email traffic.

 

This is a chain letter, and as such it is anti-social and in contravention of the terms of service of just about every reputable ISP anywhere.

 

Please dont post chain letters here or anywhere else.

Subject: Shavian and IPA phonemes

 
The page on the origin of the Shaw alphabet will probably be of interest.  The first full articulation of the project appeared in the preface to a 1941 book http://victorian.fortunecity.com/vangogh/555/Spell/shaw-pref.html

Alternate Notations for IPA phonemes
TWS=traditional writing system, SA=Shaw Alphabet
Starting with the 13 simple or uncombined vowels, the keywords are
note: E and O are sometimes considered to be diphthongs ei/ou
TWS eel ill ape edge at calm cup ago pot call oak hook hoop
SA Il il Ep ej At kym kup agO pot kYl Ok hUk hMp
Eng iil il eip ej aet kaam kap agou pot kool ouk huk huup
Uni El il Ap ej at kxm kup ugO pot kxl Ok hCk hUp
SS iel ill eip edj aet caam cupp ago pott col owk hwk huup
Ten of the keyboard locations are easy to remember, 3 are not.  Shavian arbitrarily assigns Y, y and M to awe, ah, and ooze.  I taught the ox would be spelled  < F  tYt  Ha  yks >
Compare this to [Uni] < I  txt  Du  xks >  and [Englik] < ai  toot  dhx  oks >

Unifon merges the  awe and ah phonemes and assigns x.  Unifon could easily assign x and X to discriminate the two sounds.

Unifon is much easier to keep straight than keyboard Shavian.  El, Ap, Ok, hCk, hUp can be deciphered without a key when one is told that the lazy U [C] represents the u sound in pull and the rest of the upper case letters are all long vowels.

On the next line,  13 combined vowels or diphthongs are listed
All of these phonograms are difficult to remember.  The problem is compounded by assigning a unique keyboard letter for  compound or ligatured characters. aart becomes Rt, or becomes P, er becomes x, AUr becomes Qr.
The system would be easier to learn if this were not done.  The ligatures could be added later with a conversion program for commercial printing.

Does it make sense to learn keyboard locations for ligatures?
Learning an extra set of paired associates doubles the effort.
If Shavian were a code that one used every day, it would be OK.
But a code used once a month should not be this complicated.

By comparison, Unifon is a breeze:   ace is As, ease is Ez. ice is Is, Ot is oat, and ooze is Uz. [ Shavian Es, Iz, Fs, Ot, Mz].  Unfortunately, Unifon has its unnecessary combinations as well. Y is you, qt is out [AUt], Ql is oil, herder is hcdc or hcrdcr  [Shavian hXda/hXdD].

Shavian has no way to distinguish British non-rhortic speech and American rhortic speech.  hXda or hXdD is as close as we can get.  Unifon has no good way to distingish the first and second syllable in herder.

I taught the ox would be spelled  < F  tYt  Ha  yks >  
 
Er, I would spell ox as "oks", not "yks" (with the "short o" sound).
 
Shavian has no way to distinguish British non-rhortic speech and American rhortic speech.  hXda or hXdD is as close as we can get. 
 
Is it desirable to distinguish that at all? I thought one of the points was to be able to use the same spelling (roughly) for British and American speech, where non-rhotic dialects would still use the "ligatures" with r even though they do not pronounce the letter.
 
(However, the "same spelling" idea breaks down because General American apparently does not distinguish between "short o" and "ah" -- for example, "dog" has "short o" for me and "father" has "ah", but apparently, in many North American dialects, those vowels are merged. And then there's the Mary - merry - marry - Murray thing.)

Subject: [shavian] Shavian and IPA phonemes

The page on the origin of the Shaw alphabet will probably be of interest.  The first full articulation of the project appeared in the preface to a 1941 book http://victorian.fortunecity.com/vangogh/555/Spell/shaw-pref.html

Alternate Notations for IPA phonemes
TWS=traditional writing system, SA=Shaw Alphabet
Starting with the 13 simple or uncombined vowels, the keywords are
note: E and O are sometimes considered to be diphthongs ei/ou
TWS eel ill ape edge at calm cup ago pot call oak hook hoop
SA Il il Ep ej At kym kup agO pot kYl Ok hUk hMp
Eng iil il eip ej aet kaam kap agou pot kool ouk huk huup
Uni El il Ap ej at kxm kup ugO pot kxl Ok hCk hUp
SS iel ill eip edj aet caam cupp ago pott col owk hwk huup
Ten of the keyboard locations are easy to remember, 3 are not.  Shavian arbitrarily assigns Y, y and M to awe, ah, and ooze.  I taught the ox would be spelled  < F  tYt  Ha  yks >
Compare this to [Uni] < I  txt  Du  xks >  and [Englik] < ai  toot  dhx  oks >

Unifon merges the  awe and ah phonemes and assigns x.  Unifon could easily assign x and X to discriminate the two sounds.

Unifon is much easier to keep straight than keyboard Shavian.  El, Ap, Ok, hCk, hUp can be deciphered without a key when one is told that the lazy U [C] represents the u sound in pull and the rest of the upper case letters are all long vowels.

On the next line,  13 combined vowels or diphthongs are listed
All of these phonograms are difficult to remember.  The problem is compounded by assigning a unique keyboard letter for  compound or ligatured characters. aart becomes Rt, or becomes P, er becomes x, AUr becomes Qr.
The system would be easier to learn if this were not done.  The ligatures could be added later with a conversion program for commercial printing.

Does it make sense to learn keyboard locations for ligatures?
Learning an extra set of paired associates doubles the effort.
If Shavian were a code that one used every day, it would be OK.
But a code used once a month should not be this complicated.

By comparison, Unifon is a breeze:   ace is As, ease is Ez. ice is Is, Ot is oat, and ooze is Uz. [ Shavian Es, Iz, Fs, Ot, Mz].  Unfortunately, Unifon has its unnecessary combinations as well. Y is you, qt is out [AUt], Ql is oil, herder is hcdc or hcrdcr  [Shavian hXda/hXdD].

Shavian has no way to distinguish British non-rhortic speech and American rhortic speech.  hXda or hXdD is as close as we can get.  Unifon has no good way to distingish the first and second syllable in herder.

Phillip,

OX was probably a poor choice for a key word.

what about calm as kym?

I was trying to contrast awe with ah.

I think the o represents the British o which is a short awe.

Regarding your second comment.

A system that would not distinguish British and GA could be
an advantage. I just found it to be curious.

Regards,

Steve

As far as I am concerned, yes. I pronounce calm as "kym" (roughly, "cahm").

Yes, pretty much.

I agree with you, we've heard this all before. It's a shame that no one

On February 12, 1993 a small boy who was to turn three
on March was taken from a shopping centre in Liverpool
by two 10 year old boys.
Jamie Bulger walked away from his mother for only
a second and Jon Venables took his hand and led him
out of the mall with his friend Robert Thompson.
They took Jamie on a walk for over 2 and a half miles,
along the way stopping every now and again to torture
the poor little boy who was crying constantly for his
mummy. Finally they stopped at a railway track where
they brutally kicked him and threw stones at him and
rubbed paint in his eyes and pushed batteries up his
anus. They then left his beaten small body on the
tracks so a train could run him over to hide the
mess they had created. These two boys, even being boys
understood what they did was wrong, hence trying to
make it look like an accident. This week Lady Justice
Butler-Sloss has awarded the two boys anonymity for
the rest of their lives when they leave custody with
new identities.
We cannot let this happen. They will also leave early
this year only serving just over half of their
sentence. One paper even stated that Robert may go on
to University. They are getting away with their crime.
They need to pay, and we have to do something to make
them pay for their horrific crime. They took Jamie's
life violently away, and in return they get a new

Hi,

I am new to this. I am sure that this is a newbie question. I have
been getting along pretty well with it, but I am having a very
difficult time trying to decide what to do with the "er" ending on
words. I also have a difficult time figuring out when to use
the "Up" character, and when to use "Ado". Any suggestions would
help.

Thanks,

Scott

How would you describe your accent? Are you from the US?

Basically, 'er' and 'up' are *stressed*, whereas 'array' and 'ado' are
*unstressed*.

There has been a fair amount of debate on this subject alone in the past. If
you are still curious, you might want to browse back through the archive of
postings (two and a half years' worth) - visit
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/shavian.

If you don't want to be on a mailing list, you'll need to unsubscribe
yourself instead of asking someone else to do it for you. (They can't
unless they are the group moderator, and then it's not their responsibility
anyway)
To unsubscribe from this particular list, send a blank email with the
subject line "unsubscribe" to shavian-unsubscribe@egroups.com
Make sure that you send from the email account that is receiving the list
postings.

Hope this helps,

Anyway, can someone please be kind enough to give me the Cliff notes
version of what is appropriate in this situation. I have been
writing a lot for practice, but am now afraid that I have been doing
it incorrectly. I can tell you that I have spent more time with a
dictionary in the last couple of months than at any other time in my
life!

Basically, what I am confused as to what to use as for words with an
er ending (Father, mother, etc...). The way I pronounce it indicates
that I should use the "Urge" character, but the dictionary seems to
disagree with me on this point.

Thanks all.

Hi,

The problem with a dictionary is that it usually attempts to come
up with a standard pronunciation for words. And of course we all
pronounce some things like the dictionary says and others in a different
way. And remember it depends on what dictionary you use. I cannot
really give you advice on what you should do, but I will tell you what I
do.

I am creating texts in Shavian (see http://www.mithrandir.com and
click on Software and then Shavian if you are interested in them) by
creating a master dictionary of words. For that dictionary I attempt to
use my pronunciation as I "hear" it (except for specific rules like the
spelling of "a" that I have adopted). This definitely is different from
the spellings found in Androcles and the Lion (which I have). I then
present the text with my spelling. At the present time all the people
seem to be doing this with their texts. I am not sure whether we will
ever come up with a standard English spelling of words. If we do decide
that a standard spelling of words is the way to go, then I can always
convert my texts over to that standard spelling since they are all
electronic and it is very easy to do. Until that time I keep all my
texts in my American pronunciation (even the British ones).

Just enjoy this. Read other's texts and see how they differ from
your usage and learn that people pronounce things differently. You will
get used to things and recognize them for what they are. Of course you
may pronounce something internally differently from what is written, but
that is something you are likely to do no matter what.

Hi,

Thanks for the information. I tried to take a look at the documents

Hi,

The Shavian documents on my web pages contain Unicode characters.
At the bottom of the page is a description about Unicode and how to use
it. Assuming you are using a Windows machine, the easiest thing to
probably do is to download the font for Windows on the bottom of the
page and install it. And then make sure your browser uses that font for
Unicode web pages. And then look at the UTF-8 web page version of each
document.

I guess that what I am stuck on is getting the font to work with my
browser. I have a Windows 98 system, and I installed the font. I
looked for a place to associate that particular font with UTF-8, but
was unable to find it.
