Con-Script Development Centre
Re: Con-Script Development Centre
Nothing concrete yet, just an attempt at a re-doing of an idea I had years ago.
One
Two
Vowels get attached to the glyph of the consonant they follow as marks above or below depending on which vowel. If a vowel is repeated within a word, that is indicated through an arc drawn from the first instance of that vowel to its repeated position.
Apologies for blurry photos! Thoughts?

Re: Con-Script Development Centre
My, my! Quite interesting.
This script is very vertical (much like one of my scripts) which I am personally fond of, and you should be careful about letters squishing together for that reason. A good example of this can be found at the bottom of page one. Other than that, it looks appealing!
I have one question for you: Have you ever worried about some glyphs looking too similar?
Re: Con-Script Development Centre
Mmm, I'm aware that some of them look a little too similar... I'll get around to redesigning those ones, I think. Should the letters be joined as they are in those examples, or would they look better disjointed? Disjointed is the way I used to write them, and it looked quite different. Not sure if it was better, though! I'll add an example of that style to this post in a bit.AndivahXevos wrote:My, my! Quite interesting.

Nice progress, Xing! ("huccantakurtuh" is my favorite to look at.)Xing wrote:I've been trying out a syllabary this morning:

I've made separate final, medial and initial glyphs. Each glyph represents a /C/ or /CV/ sequence. There are some featural/abugidaish tendencies, but those are not 100% consistent.
I like the way it looks so far! Keep up the good work.Sḿtuval wrote:I made this. My lack of PAINT.NET skills is partly why it looks sloppy.

Re: Con-Script Development Centre
Maybe you should do a bit more testing to see which is best fit for you. It is your conlang after all. If you were looking for a personal opinion: I would say to keep them joined because they seem to naturally fit that way. Looking forward to seeing more!loomy wrote:Mmm, I'm aware that some of them look a little too similar... I'll get around to redesigning those ones, I think.

Re: Con-Script Development Centre
I've been toying around with the glyphs for my conlang, "Freszbyar". You know...this:
I have a good idea of how the grammar will work. More details coming soon.
In the meantime, have these practice pieces.
Just shout if you want a doodle of your name (or username). I'm doing names as Freszbyarian practice.

I'm curious to see how you'd render 'Ànradh' [ˈaːn̪.ɾəɣ], if it fits with your phonology.AndivahXevos wrote:Just shout if you want a doodle of your name (or username). I'm doing names as Freszbyarian practice.

Re: Con-Script Development Centre
I have finally finished organizing the Freszbyaran alphabet into one image. The most common phoneme is written first in the parenthesis.
Freszbyaran syllables are built using the order CV+(C)+(V). A cluster of a maximum of 4 letters (CVCV) can be combined by raising the last consonant, vowel, or pair in such a way to save space.When names are used in the context of a sentence, they should be raised to fit into the top half of the active space only. I'm working on a compact alternative too, so as to make writing faster more easy!

Uh-oh. I just realized that the name of the language doesn't even follow it's rules! I'm not sure what to do about this...AndivahXevos wrote:Freszbyaran syllables are built using the order CV+(C)+(V).
Edit: I guess it'll be "Feszbar" from now on.

A friend dared me to draw the equivalent of the following phrase/name:

I have a collection of orthographic systems using real-world alphabets.
I played with Greek and Cyrillic and I have many ways to use the Latin alphabet.
I try to use the Latin alphabet without diacritics, because many real-world systems do not support them.

English is not my native language. Sorry for any mistakes or lack of knowledge when I discuss this language.

willpower < the unwavering strength of will to carry out one’s wishes < a muscular arm < an arm.
As it turns out, the Chinese character 力 ("power, capability, influence"), apparently has the same "muscular arm" etymology, so that was cool :)
You can tell the same lie a thousand times,
But it never gets any more true,
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you.
Just one time.
