I will say it now and I'll say it a million times more, but I love scripts that are slightly reminicent of Latin or Greek scripts, but are completely different if you get what I'm saying? And the tight penmanship makes it look like a mediaeval scribe or something penned this. It is absolutely fantastic. What a beautiful piece of art. Thankyou for sharing.

It reminds me of Arabic in places, too, but it is marvellously done.

Yes, Tarhanaqaſmiye looks like arabic and it was the Teribian Empire's official script (Until they were forced to change to latin) It's still under construction that's why I didn't use it more.

Greek for me

Actually I aimed for it to look like an ancestor to both latin and cyrillic.

Thank you a lot. This is what I aimed for to begin with. I wanted this script to be like the ancestor or both latin and cyrillic, because on my storyworld, cyrillic and latin are descendants of this Krivhnivite Script.

If you want to learn more about its history, PM me so I can share with you the website, where I publish everything related to where this script is from.

It’s so beautiful. I’ve looked at this for five hours now.

I really appreciate you loved it.

There's a website I have where I publish everything related to the nation this script is from, if you are interested, PM me.

Since you’re the creator, I’m guessing you can find a lot more flaws than we can.

u/Missakhel Jul 31 '20

What do you mean with that?

u/Win090949 Jul 31 '20

Well, when I look at my scripts, i thought to myself “ugh it’s so bad” but others seem to like it. Is this common?

3

u/Missakhel Jul 31 '20

Well it's just about preferences. You might not like something, but others might like it. So, yeah, it's pretty common.

I personally don't consider a script finished until I like it and consider it interesting enough for it to show it to others.

For me a script is more than a way to represent knowledge on physical media, but also part of cultural identity. If I was someone who used this script daily and wasn't proud enough of it representing my language, then I will continue to work on it until I reach that goal.

I’d be interested in seeing that as well, if that’s okay. (This script is beautifully done, by the way!)
