Tone Code is a visual alphabet I have adapted from Morse Code.

Each letter of the English language is represented by a unique combination of light and dark tones.

The difference between Morse Code and Tone Code, is that eight letters, and their corresponding characters, have been swapped so that the more frequently used letters contain fewer characters. These alterations improve the speed of transcribing words into Code.

In addition, I have created code for punctuation, again using assigned unique combinations of light and dark tones.

There are three horizontal lines in which Tone Code is organised. Letters run along the middle line and punctuation is placed above and below the middle line. Letters are separated by a single, neutral coloured bead. Three neutral beads are used to separate words (spaces).

Punctuation is read perpendicular and subsequently to the letters. Punctuation is never placed directly above or below a letter, unless it is portraying a capital letter.

Tone Code can be read and written in any direction; left-to-right, top-to-bottom, right-to-left and bottom-to-top.
