Standard Alphabet by Lepsius

Karl Richard Lepsius brought in 1852 a proposal for an alphabet that has the goal of all languages ​​of the world, especially to African but without their own writing system, writing. 1853 at the invitation of the Prussian ambassador in London, Christian Karl Josias Bunsen, a conference will be held in which the matter was discussed.

The alphabet has never been used much since it contains many diacritical marks and was therefore difficult to set. Wilhelm Schmidt published in 1907 and 1924, an extended version, which was also called Anthropos alphabet. In the 1920s, Diedrich Westermann used the alphabet for his work.
