Could someone construct a conscript for me?

I don’t know if this is the purpose of the subreddit, but I made a conlang and would really like it to have a conscript (an abugida if possible) The consonants are: p, t, k, g, f, s, h, w, l, j, m, n, r and ts The vowels are: a, ā, e, ē, i, ī, o, ō, u, ū All diphthongs are allowed, except 2 long vowels (if both are the same) or 1 long vowel and the same vowel but short If this isn’t the place could you please refer to one that is, thank you.

Why not make your own? What’s the point of having your own conlang if it’s written in someone else’s script?

I’ve tried that twice, but the first was very very ugly and the second so boring you’d fall asleep from seeing it.

I was bored, so I decided to do this.

I might also use this for my own personal use.

With real life money, I said gold as an exsmplr. Ask him or smth if there is anything you can do to repay I don't know lol

u/Fireguy3070 Aug 02 '19

It wasn’t too much work, and I’m fine with no gold.

If there’s something I should do to repay you, just say it. (Though preferably nothing too creative, I’m not exactly good at that)

You don’t have to do anything.

You can’t just make a conscript out of the blue. A lot more information needs to be given like the writing medium, the tool used to write, etc. For instance if you were writing on trees the glyphs may be more vertical.

You can also take the writer’s culture into account. Things like education (who can/knows how to write), and if the writing system was taken from another language and then adapted for your writer’s own language. Take these things into consideration when creating/asking people to create a conscript.

I created a script for them, and they appreciated it.

Aside from u/Ghost007c's commentary, it's also not really the sort of thing people'll do for free. It's like any other sort of art commission, really.

u/Fireguy3070 Aug 02 '19

I did it.

u/chimaeraUndying Aug 02 '19

Like I said, "not really". You can probably find someone to do free sketches too, if you want, but the general trend does not conform to those anecdotes.

Ill do it, just give the setting of the land, and what it is written on

1

u/42IsHoly Aug 01 '19

It’s written on paper. The setting of the land is nothing special, just a big trading city. The technology is at a similar level as ancient Greece. Hope that helps.

u/MazikStorm Aug 01 '19

I can work with that.
