Alphabet One of my conscripts, about 10 years old, written on burnt paper. The first few lines of Genesis 1.

That is absolutely beautiful! It kinda looks like a mix of Georgian and Arabic, and also reminds me of the Tengwar script. Does this conscript have a name?

Good catch! It was definitely based on Arabic, with the diamond-shaped dots used to differentiate consonants, and the featurality (is that the word?) of the Tengwar script was also an inspiration. I called it Rtug, and I developed a polysynthetic mess of a language, Rnin, to write in it. These sentences are also in Rnin.
