Re: Uhoq Vernissage
I enjoyed reading this presentation. It's well-structured and your images are pleasing to look at. It was a good selection of information for an initial presentation, I find. I look forward to seeing more
To what era of Earth's would Uhoq's present day compare, technology and quality of life-wise? How big is Uhoq geographically?
Has the Auk dialect spread from a western core area? It looks like it has spread eastwards to previously non-Ivook speaking areas. The shape of its distribution reminds me of Mandarin Chinese in relation to the other Chinese languages.
Where was Nomad Ivook spoken? A possible suggestion could be to add a dotted are on the map to show it.

I would suggest adding the relative positions of the major cities when you mention them below.
I like the look of your language. The phonology feels simple with suitable quirks to go with it; I especially like the variation between /h/ and /v/.Allekanger wrote:LANGUAGE

I like the look of your script, and I enjoyed reading about its development. It reminds me of the Inuktitut script, but more internally consistent in its design, or however I should express that. The division of the letters into sections of four reminds me of the Futhark; might that have been an inspiration?Allekanger wrote:WRITING
Is there any real-world prescedent for this?Allekanger wrote:The writing direction was established as a mix of horisontal and vertical, where individual words were written in columns forming rows of sentences from left to right, top to bottom.

Re: Uhoq Vernissage
Thank you! =) I'm glad you like it! I was worried the last post had too much text and information in it for people to be bothered to take it on, but I guess it works then.
I didn't know the links were broken and I didn't know I fixed them, but I'm happy they work anyway! =)

Indeed! Well, one map and a couple images weren't working; and then they were; so some magic got done!Allekanger wrote: ↑25 Apr 2020 11:18Thank you! =) I'm glad you like it!

As for longer posts, I may not be the best person to gauge whether they work or not by! If you look at my world's thread, you'll see I tend towards long posts.
Just keep your world coming and we'll be content!
