Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography:
Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet

DOI : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469

Hexlish is a legible, sixteen-letter alphabet for writing the English
language and for encoding text as legible base 16 or compressed binary.
Texts composed using the alphabet are automatically compressed by
exactly fifty percent when converted from Hexlish characters into
binary characters. Although technically lossy, this syntactic
compression enables recovery of the correct English letters via
syntactic reconstruction. The implementer can predict the size of the
compressed binary file and the size of the text that will result from
decompression. Generally it is intuitive to recognize English alphabet
analogues to Hexlish words. This makes Hexlish a legible alternative to
the standard hexadecimal alphabet.
