  • Bezenšek Shorthand

Bezenšek Shorthand is a shorthand system, used for rapidly recording Bulgarian speech. The system was invented by the Slovene linguist Anton Bezenšek c. 1879. It is based on the Gabelsberger shorthand (used for German), so it is often referred to as the GabelsbergerBezenšek Shorthand. (More precisely, Bezenšek Shorthand is based on a system by Heger one of Gabelsberger's students, who adapted the system for the Czech language.)
