Pitman shorthand is a system of shorthand for the English language developed by Englishman Sir Issac Pitman. The system is shorthand is a phonetic system. In shorthand the symbols do not represented letters but rather sounds are words are for the most part written as they are spoken.
One feature of Pitman shorthand is that unvoiced and voiced pairs of sounds (such as /p/ and /b/ or /t/ and /d/) are represented by the strokes which differ only in the thickness: the thin strokes representing "light" sounds such as /p/ and /t/: the thick strokes representing "heavy" sounds such as /b/ and /d/.
Pitman shorthand uses straight strokes and quater-circle strokes in various orientation, to represent consonant sounds. Some strokes are downward, some strokes are upward and some are horizontal. To making words formations which requires vowel so vowels is to use light or heavy dots, dashes or rather special symbol. Here iam showing you a picture where you can understand the strocks.
