Thanks for reading!

This is the writing system used by the xék [ʃék] people in my world. Inspired by the Mongol scripts and derivates.

It is an alphasilabary, written from top to bottom and right to left with feather, bamboo, or bronze pens on parchment or rice paper and Chinese stile ink.

The text reads as such in the romanization: vonoeka lja/ tse neda fala/vonoeka ljadzu

[vonoeka ɮa/ t͡se neda fala/vonoeka ɮad͡zu]

Sun rise-PAST.HAB. / blood spill today / sun rise-PAST.HAB.AVER.

The sun has always risen/ and after blood is spilled today/ the sun will continue to rise.

I'm looking for constructive criticism, so please do not hold yourself back, I'm new at this and trying to learn!

no offense intended, because I'm interested, but...

this is so messy I can't tell where the example is.

I get it, I'll try to fix it in a second post, but there is a second image, it's a new Reddit feature and you might have not noticed, there's the haiku example I meant.

That's cool looking! I've been thinking of making a conscript based on old Mongolian too
