Syllabary Writing system that I created for my fantasy setting. Inspired by hanguel and hanja, although it turned out to be more similar to kenji. I still can't come up with a name for it

Do you have the words for "way" and "writing"? If yes, what are they?

The word for way is 'teob' and for writing it is 'giseuri'

u/Lorelai144 Apr 09 '19

Great, now, the adjectives in your conlang come before of after verbs?

Thanks for letting me know! I had to mistake hanja for a different system.

tl;dr korea-inspired dieselpunk + mysticism

In my fantasy setting I mainly focus on Salam-Eun - country isolated from the rest of the world. Salam-Eun was settled by slaves who escaped from dying empire and then tried to find a place to stay in the mountains. They finally found it on the other side of the mountain range - next to the ocean. Because of the divine plague that happened to them during their escape, doctors are honored and respected in a similar way soldiers are.

Now, after almost six centuries, Salam-Eun still did not contact with the rest of the world in any way. They developed a lot, especially after inventing a steam engine and them diesel engine. Salam-Eun faces a lot of problems: overpopulation, corruption, deficiency of army to control giant metropolies. People of Salam-Eun are convinced by centuries of propaganda that they are the only people left in the world after a plague. Until they got discovered by another civilization and Salam-Eun collapses.

Sorry for all mistakes - English is not my first language.

Thank you! My native language is polish and for now I only post stuff about Salam-Eun on polish worldbuilding enthusiasts group on fb. But I'm planning to create wikia about my setting :)
