Alphabet developed by
Carl Richard Lepsius to write
African languages. Published
1855 and in a revised edition (with many more languages added) in
1863. It was comprehensive but it wasn't used much as it contains a lot of
diacritic marks and therefore was difficult to read, write and typeset at that time.
