Deseret is a unique script invented in the 1850s by Brigham Young, the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was designed to be used by members of the Church who were migrating to the American West, where English was not the primary language. The script was based on the English alphabet, but with additional characters to represent sounds that were common in the languages of the indigenous peoples of the region. Deseret was used for a time in Utah Territory, but it eventually fell out of use as English became more prevalent. Today, Deseret is primarily studied by linguists and historians as a fascinating example of a constructed script.
