The New Mong alphabet is an alternative way of writing the Mong or Hmong languages, which are spoken in Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and China. It was devised by Ian James, who finds the use of the modern Latin alphabet to represent Asian languages uncomfortable, especially considering how some of the most beautiful scripts in the world emerged in Asia. For various reasons, Ian decided to design a script for Mong based on historical precedents of style and evolution. This led him to base much of the design on Pallava, mother of most SE Asian scripts (Mon-Burmese, Khmer of Cambodia, Kawi and others of Indonesia and neighbouring Pacific regions, and nearly all the Tai language scripts including Lanna, Thai, Lao, Tai-Lue and Dai-Deuhong). Some of his glyphs are pure Pallava, others are based on variations and innovations found in more recent script-forms; many are "generic" SE Asian forms. A slight hint of the Pahawh-Hmong aesthetic is also evident. And some of the phonetic ideas presented in RPA (Romanized Popular Alphabet of 1953) are preserved.This is one of the better neographies I've seen in a long while. I quite like the idea behind it's creation as well.
