User:ChillinChaz

ChillinChaz is a variation on another nickname, Chillin Charles. My real name is Charles Smith. I am a student at the University of Minnesota: Twin Cities campus. I am a linguistics major in my fifth year. I've studied Finnish for three years and plan on studying Ojibwe for three years as well. I have created several alphabets for various purposes, most of which are meant to write English. The most fleshed out of them is Phonogic, an alphabet initially meant to write English, but evolved into a replacement for the Latin alphabet. There is a page dedicated to it (although it needs updating) at Omniglot. I have also created my own changes to the writing system commonly known to Ojibwe speakers as syllabics to differentiate between voiced and voiceless consonants (where there are pairs).
