Gevey has a script, but can also use the latin alphabet
The script can be seen at http://www.kalieda.org/gevey/say.html

Nope.
However, the latin version uses marks over initial vowels to show
whether the word requires w, h or y sound before it, when the word
follows a word ending in a vowel.

Each Gevey script letter has its own sound. No letters are combined to
make different sounds - but then again, there are 52 letters in the
alphabet.
In the latin version, h is used to combine with other letters to
produce new sounds, and certain combinations of vowel letterss are
used for dipthongs etc.
