Yingzi

While having tea with Maciej yesterday, I mentioned I was trying to learn Chinese, he being just back from Beijing and all. He told me about Yingzi -- an effort to turn English into a pictographic writing system, which, if you read it through, obliquely tells you something about Chinese character construction.

Also of possible interest is Elephant's Memory, although I don't think it's in active development anymore.
