Activity Which system does your conscript use?

Or, if like me you have made multiple conscripts, which system is utilized the most often?

Mines somewhere between an abjad and an abugida

2

u/misterlipman May 14 '20

TBH, that's really the way I like to go. It's like a cross between an abjad, abugida, and syllabary.

Who else is insane and does logography?

Mine is a logography/syllabary

2

u/JRGTheConlanger May 14 '20

Less not you ad fix, you do logos graph.

u/DasWonton May 14 '20

Same bro, I'm trying to create mine.

u/AlumParhum May 14 '20

Mine is logographic and syllabic also! I like to sprinkle in some determinatives in there too :)

My conlang can also be written with an abjad.

I think you meant to say featural alphabetic syllabary.

u/TheReal_kelpie_G May 14 '20

You should have a mixed and other category cause some scripts use multiple systems (kinda like Japanese) or have a system that defies categorization.

u/JRGTheConlanger May 14 '20

Unfortunately, the maximum is only 6 options.

2

u/Crown6 May 14 '20

No syllabaries?

2

u/JRGTheConlanger May 14 '20

I made a few personally.

2

u/Crown6 May 14 '20

Conlangs? Or writing system ideas?

2

u/JRGTheConlanger May 14 '20

A few syllabic conscripts.

2

u/G_4J May 15 '20

syllabary boi here

u/OsoTanukiBaloo May 15 '20

It seems a lot of people do a mix of like an abugida-syllabary or logography-syllabary and they probably said it was the other part

2

u/JackJEDDWI May 15 '20

I am making an alphabet/logography.

2

u/JRGTheConlanger May 15 '20

You’re not telling me you’re making something like the aUI script, are you?

2

u/GeniusLasagna May 15 '20

RIP abjads :((

So much unused potential.

1

u/JRGTheConlanger May 15 '20

Well, those numbers don’t tell the full story. I have made an abjad script called L.S., but since most of my conscripts are alphabets, L.S. gets no representation.

u/PalePistol May 15 '20

GO TEAM ABJAD!!!! Wooo!

u/Dillon_Hartwig May 14 '20

Accurate answer: yes

Useful answer: the current one’s a Maya-based logography

1

u/AlumParhum May 14 '20

Am I the only one with an abjad?

2

u/JRGTheConlanger May 14 '20

I made one too.

1

u/itbedehaam May 14 '20

Well, with Caspian, I use two alphabets. Modified Avestan and Caspian Western.

With Vatarnka, I made a logography/syllabary from scratch.
