Maybe... it will depend on what language you mean. If it's English, it would be quite hard, considered the fact that it's very commonly spoken, and maybe you need to ask the government or do something official, you can't just create it! And after you have created it, people speaking that certain language may have trouble remembering and using it, so you will need to remind and teach them, and some people may even be angry, maybe they think that you shouldn't have created a new alphabet or something.... but for some other languages the case is different. Like for example, you create a new alphabet for a language that's not so common, much less common than English, then maybe people won't really mind, I mean the risk of people not liking it is much lesser now since there are few people speaking it, some may not even know about the new alphabet! Well, I hope I have not been too talkative and if you want to create a new alphabet for whatever language, good luck!:)

Is it possible to create a letter in the alphabet?

I understand that Benjamin Franklin attempted to introduce a phonetic alphabet in 1779. Interesting link found when googling "Benjamin Franklin alphabet:" http:/www.omniglot.com/writing/franklin.htm __________________ The development of the alphabet, and ultimately its breathtaking brilliance, is much more complex and fascinating than most people would suspect. It is so easy to simply take it for granted as a trivial task for elementary students. Most would agree that up to now the spoken language precedes the development of any symbolic representations of it, and changes to spoken language are the same. If there is no actual need driven by spoken language, you can try to modify the alphabet all you want and your efforts will likely be futile. However, with the Information Age well underway, the process of language change and its symbolic representation may be fundamentally different. Needs dictated by rapid exchange of "written" language may take over as the driver of changes in the symbolic representation of the spoken word.
