Hello,
I'm currently working on my own shorthand for personal use, and I'd like to simplify it as much as possible while minimizing ambiguity.
While going through the creation process, I realized someone might have already done the work, and I would love some inspiration.
In short, I'm looking for english with a reduced character set and/or a reduced phoneme set (perhaps on the phoneme front a specific accent could be useful.
Thank you very much for your consideration,

Australian English can be analysed as having only six vowels, /i u e o æ a/. These all combine with a following pre-consonantal or word-final rhotic to produce /ir ur er or ær ar/ → [ɪː ʊː eː ɵː æː aː]. In completely atonic syllables, all vowels become schwa [ɜ]. Diphthongs can be analysed as /oi ou ui ai ae æo au/ → [əi̯ əy̯ ʊi̯ ai̯ ɒe̯ æo̯ ɐy̯]. In normal (tonic, closed syllable) situations, /i u e o æ a/ → [i ʊ e ɒ æ ä].
