William Bullokar was a 16th-century printer who devised a 40-letter phonetic alphabet for the English language. Its characters were in the black-letter or "gothic" writing style commonly used at the time. Taking as his model a Latin grammar by William Lily,[1] Bullokar wrote the first published grammar of the English language, in a book titled Bref Grammar for English, which appeared in 1586.[2]Works- Booke at large, for the Amendment of Orthographie for English speech, Henrie Denham, 1580 ([https://archive.org/details/bullokarsbookeat00bull copy on Archive.org])
