 Deseret alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Deseret alphabet is a phonetic alphabet developed in the mid-19th century by the board of regents of the University of Deseret (later the University of Utah) under the direction of Brigham Young, second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Another goal in creating the Deseret Alphabet was to offer all faithful Mormons a unifying script that might encourage a sense of community among recent European converts, as well as a higher sense of difference from non-Mormons.
The Deseret Alphabet was developed primarily by a committee made up of the university's board of regents and church leaders Parley P. Pratt and Heber C. Kimball.
