Dutton Speedwords, transcribed in Speedwords as Dutton Motez,[1] is an international auxiliary language as well as an abbreviated writing system using the English alphabet for all the languages of the world. It was devised by Reginald J. G. Dutton (1886–1970) who initially ran a shorthand college promoting Dutton Shorthand (a geometric script), then offered a mail order (correspondence) self-education course in Speedwords while still supporting the Dutton Shorthand. The business was continued by his daughter Elizabeth after his death.

  1. ^ "motel IPA: [ˈmɔteːz] is the plural of mote = speedword, listed in the 1951 Dictionary as augment of mot = word. By Speedword Dutton meant a word in his constructed language."
