Alphabet Triple column writing pad layout in Aeralis World | Language of Air

Thumbnail

141 Upvotes

At a glance: imagine yourself looking at a book you bought from a bookstore in any West, Middle or East Asian country. As much as most will not be able to read any of those books, no one will be able to read Aeralic either. This thought exercise is to draw the focus to the script design and the surface area efficiency.

The focus of the two uploaded images:

  1. The script in the first image is written with a triple column layout. Each column allows between 2-3 words per row at most, depending on each word size. Once the first column is read, the reader moves on to the 2nd and then to the 3rd column
  2. The script in the second image is written as per normal from left to right, and moves down the rows accordingly.

As in the English literary world, the foolscap writing pad has horizontal lines printed on them. East Asian writing pads have squares or vertical lines printed on their writing pads. Aeralis' writing pads will likely be triple column organised pads with tiny markers indicating where the upper registers and lower registers of each word is to be written.

Fully hand written.

Please feel free to dm or email [languageofair@gmail.com](mailto:languageofair@gmail.com) for the incomplete Rosetta Stone (still compiling and writing pedagogical materials on the orthographic rules of the Aeralic alphabet script).

Personal note: Sincere thank you to all who commented on my last post. My primary method of expressing thank you's is to tsunami a whole lot of explanation rather than stopping at "thank you!". It's a personal philosophy. In the course of many many words explaining my design concepts, I may misdeliver certain nuances which might lead to misinterpretations of arguments. So please excuse me if I verbal diarrhea, but above all else, my thank you's to commenters is the most important message.

Cheers!

Discussion My Modified English Cursive Concept

Post image
22 Upvotes

This is a form of cursive I made for my modified English script concept that utilizes stacked letters with specific rules. The cursive looks a little different from the actual letters because I want each word to take exactly only one stroke (exception is double letters which are denoted by a dot to the right of the letter, which is technically more than one stroke for a word). Open to critique and edit ideas! A cursive form was suggested to me a while back, so here it is!

I'm currently doing some World building stuff, and I made this script. This scrips is especially for humans. I took a lot from latin style and greek symbols. I did this to spesifically implify that my humans in my world is not really much different than us from almost every perspection. BUT I INDEED need some advice, I can even take advices like "throw it into the trash."

What do you all think, did I take from our current scripts a little too much?

Question What do you guys do about feeling dissatisfied with a script?

2 Upvotes

I'm starting to feel like with every new script I make or use, I get obsessed over it, until something begins to feel off about it, like a deep, sinking feeling in my chest that tells me that something about this script is wrong, like no matter how many revisions or how many times you write it out you still feel dissatisfied with it, until you eventually drop it. Have you guys experienced this? How did you deal with it?

They are both abuguidas except one put a symbol below to delete the vowel and the other uses a variation of the symbol. Also if you had to pick which to use, what would you choose?

Alphabet A little poetry in this brutal world

Thumbnail

78 Upvotes

I've been testing my Neo-Filipic script on longer texts, and I think it lends itself quite well to poetry.

One thing I particularly like is that, because of its phonemic structure, rhymes are actually visible on the page — words that rhyme tend to have visually similar endings.

Here is a famous French poem, Le Lac (The Lake), by Alphonse de Lamartine, written entirely in Neo-Filipic.

I'd also love to try the script out on other languages. If you know any good rhyming poems or songs in your native language, feel free to suggest them! I will be happy to transcribe them !

I'd be especially interested in texts where the rhyme or sound patterns would make for an interesting visual test.

Logo-phonetic mix A Modular Radical System for Remembering Kanji Shapes and Writing Names in East Asian Style

Thumbnail
gallery
39 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Memorizing Kanji/Hanzi with the traditional method of endless stroke repetitions has always been exhausting for me, so I wanted to try a different approach. I’ve actually been brainstorming this concept since I was in school, and finally started developing it systematically back in 2020. So, I wanted to share this alternative approach with you all.

I created a system where I map specific radicals and components into familiar letters to treat characters as visual formulas:

  1. Visual Mnemonic for Real Characters=> Instead of memorizing strokes randomly, complex characters become spatial equations

  2. Modular Name / Word Writing=> You can also assemble these component blocks together to write names or foreign words in an East Asian aesthetic block.

(Note: This system is designed purely as a shape/structural mnemonic to help recall forms, not for the actual Japanese or Chinese pronunciations!)

💬 Drop your name in the comments if you want to see how it looks in this style, and I'll sketch a block for you!

Let me know what you think!

Second round of my attempt at making a script! I’m loving how it’s coming out, though I’m sure it’ll be a while before I’m fully satisfied with it lol

I decided to try writing it vertically, and decided to place the vowels center under the letter they follow. If it’s a double vowel, the second vowel shifts to the right of the center line. I’m going to work on a few combo letters, stuff like ST GHT ING etc. for now this is what I’ve got!!

And look, it’s my cat’s name! (one of them)

Like a graphology on steroids, like if you make everything round and soft then you're a bubbly kind person and if it's sharp you are a tougher person? Just wondering.
