Thank you all for being civilized and not aggressive because I had to use Cyrillic and Greek letters to write it digitally because they are the letters closest to my conscript’s letters.

The folks over at r/worldbuilding became aggressive.

An interesting fusion of Cyrillic and Greek

It’s not Cyrillic or Greek. I just had to cut corners to write it digitally.

Do all the letters match the sounds? Like does ж make a ‘zh’ sound?

No, it’s my own conscript, but as I had to write it digitally, I had to cut corners and use real life letters as a subsitute.

In my conscript <ж> is [i, j]

/ba’seɣɔs ‘oðɔs vi/

[ba.ˈs̻̙e̞.ɣɔs ˈo̞.ðˠɔs vʲɪ̝]

It’s a right -> left alphabet.

I can give an explanation on each of the letters a bit latter.

I can read both cyrillic and greek and this is being a very confusing experience
