For anyone who likes this sort of thing I'd recommend checking out the Shavian alphabet[1][2].

Similar goals with some very cool choices for matching letters to their sound. It also kinda handles accent variations with a few extra letters.

If we're dropping Latin alphabet, Tengwar is another option. It's vocalized abjad (a better term perhaps will be abugida or alphasyllabary) and vowels are written with diacritics.

Do you have any sense as to whether Tengwar is any more or less compact/concise than Shavian?
