But is Ewellic a script? Both address a written form of actual pronunciation in a particular area, and they do not pretend to be an orthograph (so with both IPA and Exellic, the semantic proximity of radicals may be lost, as pronunciation aften alters them with lots of variation, even in the same language). Even the author of Ewellic says that its purpose is only to mark the phonetic of English as he speaks and hears it, but not as others may pronounce it, and Ewellic works poorly with other languages (unlike IPA which is much more precise)...
