Talk:Benjamin Franklin's phonetic alphabet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franklin's proposal was not the earliest English spelling reform; there were proposals in the late 16th century and 17th century from William Bullokar and others. AnonMoos 02:34, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New letters invented?
The current write-up seems to imply that Ben Franklin invented the letters he added to the alphabet. A contributor to Talk:Eng (letter) reports differently, at least for "ŋ" I cannot corroborate the claim found there, but it sounds reasonable. --Rschmertz 08:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
