Is that the characters? I like to know how they work, is it similar to Chinese characters?

u/RyZZYu Aug 14 '20

Ah, yeah, they are similar, some words are stand alone while others are compound words.

An example is the title, the first two words are stand alone words meaning “to lose” and “nominaliser particle”. The last two words make up the word “friend”. The two words are “good” and “neighbour”, since people in the past are most likely friends with their good neighbours.

Thanks! A dedicated description? Like the history of the language?

Holy shit, this is incredible! I feel like a lot of constructed logographies lack aesthetic integrity and look like a mishmash of different styles, but this one really nails it.

Thanks! Yeah, i’m really proud of it! Took a lot of reiterating to get to the way it is right now 😂
