The Andersonic alphabet (Piscean: Alefbef andersonum) is conventionally used to write the Piscean language. It was devised in June 2007 by S.C. Anderson, editor of the Piscean Lexicon. Though designed to match the Phoenician alphabet - via which many modern-day alphabets arrived - as closely as possible, the Andersonic letters are, visually, heavily influenced by those from Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.

Evolution

Most Andersonic letters are based on those of Phoenician, but produced by altering 'models' from other alphabets.
