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?

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/.

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 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?

Is there any real-world prescedent for this?

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!

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! :mrgreen:

I did, and I really enjoy reading your stories, so I'll go for long posts too!
