The goal of this project is to create an alternate evolution of the "Latin Alphabet", but in reality it's meant to be something different enough so let's call it "Alternis Script"
The main idea for this speculative script is to take it in a different direction starting from the Phoenician alphabet.
To be exact, I want a more syllabic script that can be used to write latin languages, one where each syllable can be represented with a character. (This can definitely be hard but latin languages are known to be very syllabic so I think it's reasonable)
Like I said, the starting point is the Phoenician script, which looks like this:
Just like in the timeline we live in, in this speculative timeline, the Phoenician script would be adopted by the greeks and modified to suit them.
HOWEVER, while in real life the greeks ended up repurposing the symbols for consonants they didn't need as vowels, the first change in this timeline occurs, and the greeks don't actually decide to make vowels part of the alphabet, but instead they opt to go the route of adding diacritics to indicate vowels.
Diacritics are something that would originate later anyway for the purpose of indicating how the vowels themselves should be emphasized, so it's a logical enough direction for the Greek script to go in.
I'd also like to think that in this timeline, maybe the Greek script also evolved a bit closer to the other Phoenician children, so the diacritics themselves could aslo be similar to those that would originate in the Brahmi branch.
Example of how the script could look like in action:
The alphabet would continue to evolve naturally and spread though the Roman empire, with the need for faster writing gicing origin to uncial letter, some letters would change their pronounciation, their spots on the alphabet, some may disappear or be replaced, and some other vowels may appear too:
