Re: What did you accomplish today?

I added Mamabam (with sample sentences) to my website. (I'm planning to add more languages, such as K'uk'uts' and sample sentences for the other languages.) I also decided that the sapient Water Bears on Fredauon will not have language in any way that humans can recognize. They will show stuff and m...

I recently had a dream that involved a train somehow triggering a time rip. So we were investigating some anormalities in the forest close to my father's house, the place where I proposed to my wife. There were tracks through the forest and a train, which looked more like a bus, was coming through. ...

If you want to code movement you might want to read up on Sign language orthographies. SLIPA might be a good start https://dedalvs.com/slipa.html. But Wikipedia is probably your friend, too.

Could you go with a classic math graph-like image with x axis, y axis, and z axis?
Also, does your language have movements or is it static like rikchik?

Well, Javanese is pretty close to Indonesian. On the other hand, there is probably more documentation on languages like Tagalog online.
