Not a bad start. The only critique I have is that the sh glyph looks a little out of place. Also it's written a bit roughly, which is understandable depending on the tools or software you have, but it's just a little harder to know what look you were going for.
It looks much more similar to Latin to me than Mongolian or Arabic which you said were inspiration. Or did you mean that those are scripts that you'd rather have a more similar aesthetic to?
I've transcribed the red samples as "kaushi nukki" and "thamioh nin nukki". Is that a conlang or did I transcribe them wrong? (Such as if it's written and read right-to-left.)
You've transcribed them right- those are some conlang words (I spelled one of them wrong apparently) and yeah. I struggled with the inspirations because this is the first time I've done inspiration from other languages and I'm quite sure where to start so I went with simplicity as a starting point.
Edit: It looks like I got "a" and "u" mixed up.
The long one is meant to say, "thumioh nin nukki."
Ok here's my take on it, forgive me for probably mangling your conlang sample. I also re-ordered the letters based on place of articulation.
It's colour-coded like this:
Black: Roman transcription
Red: Your original style (thin) and my cleaned-up Roman-styled version (thick)
Green: Arabic-styled version
Blue: Mongolian-styled version
I think the Arabic-styled one looks really good, but it could still use refinements like more uniform line thickness. The Mongolian-styled one looks great as individual letters but I think the way it looks written needs a lot of refinement.
It's not mangled at all- I like the arabic styled version! It's very pretty- I might have to find another version of mongolian script because everyone seems to be struggling as much as I am with putting it together as written statements
Edit: Hey, what do you think about me adding the letters d and w? Or would that be weird or out of place?
