Word o’ God

One of the more fascinating subjects of Mormon history that I have found.   The Deseret Alphabet, Mormon Alphabet, or Temple Alphabet as it has been called; is simply a phonetic alphabet commisioned by the early LDS church.   Here is a research paper I wrote on the subject…

Deseret Alphabet booklet

It is a pdf so you’ll need a reader.  

I also created a small application to translate between standard english and deseret, today most people will not run a “.exe” from the web.  but this is really just a small vb app that uses SAPI from M$.  

Zip file containing translate.exe

If you have Sapi(voice) working it will read deseret to you.  Pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

Here are some PDF’s of things in deseret…
