Introduction

This phonemic alphabet was created for English in the 1850s by regents at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah). Up until the 1870s it was promoted as an alternative to the Latin alphabet by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (also known as the LDS or Mormon Church).
