The text in my conlang (on the top) simply says:

"ḣỏ modỏ" /xɔ̃ mɔ.dɔ̃/ – "tradition is the most important"

I finally figured out how to make a font!!!! yayyyy

It is a bit fat, and not that readable under font soze 16, but it's fineee this fineee this is like a caligraphic font. they're not supposed to be that readable anywayssss,,,

I made it using glyphrstudio, which is a very intuative web app, but it is a bit on the simpler side - which worked great for me 👍 also fontforge just doesn't work at all on my computer for some reason so I'm glad something did.

I won't go very deep into the letters, but here is abit about the punctuation:

a single dot, seperating words in a compound. equivilent to the dash and apostrophe in the romanisation.

double dots, separating words in a sentence. equivilent to a space.

triple dots, separating sentences. equivilent to a period. appears at the start and end of a sentence.

Dhàzan'a Orthography

This post by @thecrazyneographist inspired the Dhàzan'a writing system. I'm not very creative when it comes to designing unique letter forms, so it uses combinations of markings to get full coverage of the phonology. I suppose that makes it a featural writing system.

A map of extra-dimensional spaces. While they are constantly changing spaces, a few aspects will remain the same for at least a few years.

evolved the shitposting a little (joking about a nuanced concultural topic)

the joke is that eastern sorkans are literally just vibing with their neighbouring nation of the chytari (which are basically the only ethnic group sorkans downright welcome on their soil. the eastern ones anyway) while western sorkans strictly follow the sorkish law and they are ready to kill anyone they deem a traitor (someone who broke the law) – so in their eyes, the easterners who interact with the chytari are traitors as the westerners strongly oppose foreigners stepping foot onto the sorkish soil (this xenophobia has roots in history as the sorkish lands were almost conquered by like four or five different nations in the last thousand-ish years, with the current occupiers being the lynirosans).

text left to right, top to bottom:

fávir! – general greeting in sorkish

zatau! – general greeting/goodbye in chytari (in the lísic script)

wirár :) – "friends :)" in sorkish

Fúraresfad fághaz bákat'urvnaz. Qághdat aghrísḥi. Zerfúrarsaḥabtan zíghkeḫ. Soznáriyaḥ ahnár. – I've just killed my 56th non-Sorkan. Their blood powers me. I won't stop killing them as long as I'm alive. Easterners are traitors.

I am so glad I caught that typo before it was too late 😭

I translated Miitopia's logo into M'nire and Mnira, two sister conlangs that share a writing system.

I love it when creators call their scripts something like "The Universal Excellent Most Perfect Global Writing" and it's just English sounds + the glottal stop

Ts'íts'àsh Language from Elemental

Hey, I just wanted to throw this out there. I've been getting a lot of requests for info about the Ts'íts'àsh language from Pixar's Elemental, and I totally want to answer them, but I did want to make something clear. While this is my Tumblr (so I'll be answering asks, etc.), I didn't create the language by myself. Jessie Sams and I created the language together.

Now, when I say that, you might think like I did the nouns and Jessie did the verbs, etc., but that's not really how we work. We sit down together with our laptops on the couch working on the same document in Pages (shared via iCloud), and we sit there and create every single bit of the language together. There's no part of it you can point to and say that it's all me or all Jessie: The whole thing is us. That's how we work.

If you've sat through the credits of Elemental, you'll see that only I'm credited. That was, in a word, bullshit. We also had no control over it. We can say whatever we want ahead of time, but who gets credited—or whether we get credited at all—is totally at the mercy of the studio. Even when it's written into our contract it sometimes doesn't happen. We noticed that we didn't get the credit in our contract for Peacock's Vampire Academy, and we complained, and the best they could do is credit us in the episodes they hadn't finished yet—the last one. And so we're in the credits only for the very last episode in which we have no lines.

This is an unfortunate part of the job. As language creators, no one in Hollywood knows what we do, and they certainly don't care if we don't get credit. It's up to us to make sure people even know that we worked on something.

Anyway, in this case, it's really important to me that everyone knows this was a joint project of mine and Jessie's. It's our work, and we deserve equal credit.

I'm moving out this month and I'm too stressed to really focus on anything, so I haven't been drawing or posting recently. But I finally managed to make a very simple drawing (i promise i will make something more ambitious one day) of one of my characters after a monthly break. So this is Monṡan (/mɔn.ʂan/) from Northern Asam.

That's all, see you in a month.

working on a new font for Ngįout and I'm so happy with my progress. I finely! kinda get how to use inkscape, and do the style I want - I was aiming for like a sans serif hiragana type of font
