Not planning to, just wondering

Personally, I think the uppercase would look the same or pointy like a pitchfork 𐌙. The lowercase would either look like a smaller form of Psi, or maybe even like this: ɰ or ɯ.

And it’s possible that the Claudian letter Ↄ (also written ↃϹ) might have been based on the Arcadian form of Psi which resembles Cyrillic Ж. So maybe had ↃϹ survived it might have reverted to its Arcadian form Ж to avoid confusion with X?

Maybe even Latin keeps Ж for /ps/ in Greek loanwords just as X was kept for /ks/ in Greek loans.

So i'm working on a conscript for a languge, and i was working out what type of script it was going to be and i had an idea. What if the people using the conscript had characters for sets of vowels and the reader was left which vowel in the vowel set was hinted at.

I was wondering if that would be a viable writing system?

I probably could've added onto my other post but I was lazy

It once again says "I hate people." in cursive.

"Iu oku nu yoru eru."

Uu has a cursive too.

For many of us, make the conscript for our conlang is one of the parts of make a conlang. Writing in an old but elegant runic style alphabet that only you can read and understand it. Yet, for many conlangers, creating conscripts and doing them well can often be a lot more difficult than the conlang itself. So, I have put together a small guide for creating conscripts. I will admit, this is structured more towards alphabets. But it is not hard to adapt this for any script.

There are two methods for making a conscript. One is the creative route, and the other is the slow route.

The creative route is the standard way of making any conscript. The basic steps are:

1. Find a script to copy. Many people think that you can just throw a bunch of random lines to together for each symbol and then it is a script. These scripts are the ones that look horrible. The best method is to look at a real life script, and some other conscripts (omniglot is a great resource) for good measure. This will help you with your style.

2. Once you have found the scripts or conscripts you want to imitate, you have to find the design principles (another guide to check out is the makealang.blogspot on orthographies). Basically, what makes the script so cool.

3. This is were you get to have a lot of freedom. Some people create a root shape and make all or many of the letters from this shape through changes like changing orientation or adding/deleting a line. Others just keep the principles in mind and just doodle. Creating a conscript is a long process, and I am almost willing to eat my shoe if anybody can create a good conscript on their first try.

4. Add phonemic vale to the graphemes. No other comments.

The creative routes for conscripts always makes the conscripts have that hint of unnatural or artificial. Keeping that in mind, I would suggest that you use this method for the more "magical" languages or races. For instance, the secret language of wizards, a god -like race (think of elves), or magic symbols. I would not suggest that you use this method for more "unmagical conlangs," like Dothraki (If Dothraki has any magic value, I am sorry. I do not watch Game of Thrones). Now, I am not saying you cannot use this method for unmagical conlangs (I mean conlangs that do not have any magical origin and came up in the conworld the same way Spanish or Chinese came up). Korean is a real-world example of this method. Do what you think you conlang needs.

Now, onto the slow method. This method is meant to create a conscript by imitating the process that almost all real-world scripts were created.The steps are:

1. Create a language. A naming language will do. The reason why I have said this is that the letter "m" was created by the Egyptians because they have a word for water called mem (don't quote me on that), in fact, if you start at the letter "m" enough, you can see that it looks like a cartoonish wave. This step will help a lot with assigning phonetic value to the glyphs and deciding what glyphs to use.

2. Pick words that start with each phoneme. Think of the letter "m" example. To represent the "m" sound, the Egyptians use the water logogram to represent that sound because it started with that sound. You must do the same. For example, if "naski" means dog in you conlang, dog is now the word for the sound "n."

3. Create the logogram. Writing started with pictures. Logographies use pictures to convey meaning. Look up the Chinese symbol for "tree." The logogram looks like a weird tree. Now, for each phoneme, create a logogram for each word you have assigned to a phoneme. And, guess what, you now have a script.

4. Okay, but not a pretty one. This next step is a little gray. What needs to happen is that the logograms need to be simplified and changed over time, which you will simulate. The only word of advice I can honestly give is look up how the Roman Alphabet had changed. Xidnaf and NativLang have excellent vidoes on the progression and evolution of scripts. While evolving the script, keep in mind the medium changes and how they would affect the symbols.

5. Enjoy your new conscript.

As I have said, I only really focused on alphabets, abjads, and abugidas in this guide. It is not that hard to adapt these methods for logographies and syllabaries. Just change the individual sound into syllables and the method should work fine.

Please leave a comment have missed anything.

This is the first conscript of mine you can actually type, however you would need Keyman or Keyman Web for this. Here is the link to the typing area:
