#constructed script

[krakrac]

and another one thank you

been playing with this design for yeseian clothing for a few days and finally im satisfied with it

Ni guā itișa nia hișati

I hold you in my eyes.

proper yeseian script showcase finally

logograms do not connect while the glyphs from the abugida do. the abugida is used for loan words, morphemes, grammatical particles and modal verbs; everything else uses logograms, including noun class prefixes

some words that come from earlier compounds (e.g. -kaco "consist") use compound logograms (radical + logogram) while other (e.g. -l'uka "shark") use their own unique logograms

the abugida glyphs have /a/ as the inherent vowel and use 6 vowel diacritics, in addition to nasalization and ejective/glottalization diacritics

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.

Sharing some Ts'íts'àsh names starting with Ember's. Will share more about the language soon.

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.

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.

Sanim script, revised.

For years my old conlang and conscript projects have been sitting in a file somewhere, copied over from computer to computer, but otherwise untouched. Lately I've found the motivation to revisit the old hobby, give it a fresh look, and perhaps try out some different approaches. (Also at some point I realized that creating interesting-looking scripts and writing systems was the part I enjoyed the most about creating conlangs, so that's the part I'm going to focus on going forward.)

I'm starting with Sanim, since it was the simplest script and the one that needed the least revisions. This time around I'm hoping to flesh it out more, beyond just the base letters — grammar, math, even different writing styles. Here's a handwritten sample:

Eventually I'd like to revisit all of the scripts I've made, and perhaps make some new ones? Maybe even return to the larger world-building project they were attached to, and some of the places and characters I left hanging. One step at a time, though.

(god it really has been over a decade, huh)

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.

[mozzarella-drag]

I don't really mention it, but I actually conlang a bunch; this is a look at two sister languages I'm making for the story I'm writing, that share a writing system.

Mnil, in green, has a fully reformed spelling and a simplified alphabet M'nire, in orange, hasn't had a spelling reform in centuries

Might post more conlanging here idk

It took a little longer than expected, but we got there! Lets talk about syllables, sounds, and the writing system.

The writing system is a syllabic alphabet, i.e. it has forms for individual letters corresponding to individual sounds, but they are arranged into blocks each corresponding to a single syllable. Let's take a look at an example, Kuembros.

If a syllable starts with a consonant, it goes on the left. The only consonant clusters in this language are formed with a plosive followed by an r, which is marked in the top left if present. The vowel(s) go in the top right. If there is a consonant at the end, it is written at the bottom connected to the initial consonant. Otherwise, a simple horizontal line takes its place.

Here are the consonants with their corresponding glyphs. Only m, n, and s may be at the end of a syllable. Their ending forms are shown underneath the table.

The first table below shows the plain vowels. This is the 5-vowel system. The second table shows the possible vowel combinations along with their typical realizations. Some of these are long vowels which are held for a greater duration (e.g. ā /aː/), some are diphthongs which glide from one vowel to another (e.g. /ai/ as in eye), and some starting with an i or u may be realized as a semivowel (y in you, and w in we respectively). Note that the IPA symbol for the English consonant y is /j/.

So there we have it. If you want to puzzle out some examples of the script, the banner at the top contains some randomly generated syllables of various forms.

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.

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
