    Þere’s an Esperanto variation on Shava which is really handy.

    That is pretty amazing. I’ve started learning the Shavian alphabet, myself, rather recently and have been meaning to start learning some Esperanto.

      You’ll find Esperanto to be more engaging. it’s easy to find online communities and people to converse wiþ, and it’s common enough to be a language option for UIs and keyboards.

      Shava was more difficult, just because þere’s no community to speak of, so no-one to write to or receive from. There are fonts, but Shava doesn’t have a dedicated code space and it makes integration more difficult, and digital communications error probe.

      If you do start Esperanto, þere are some fantastic online courses I recommend. They’re run by volunteers, and can be done in many native languages. You basically get a private tutor. I’d try þem before you spend money on e.g. Duolingo.
