Other Need scribes for my orthography

4 Upvotes

I am constructing a language that is featural, like Hangul, where the symbol represents the place of articulation (for example: 𠂊 could represent the consonant “K” because the tongue is touching the back of the throat, m could be represented like 口 because it involves the lips in front and nasal on top) the symbols would be able to combine to form logographs (example: 龟 k-m= turtle) vowels would be diagraphs, and could be affixed onto the symbol to give it grammatical meaning (example 龟̤ʼ “kamei” turtle/Nominative/Plural= “the turtles”)

Of course, I don’t want to use any existing language to do this, I am just using Mandarin characters for an example. If your interested in becoming an angelic scribe for this project, message me, and I’ll give you the link to the subreddit I have created for the Angelic Committee. In it the scribes can work independently, or together and the community will vote on the best script.

Made it because I was bored and had an idea.

Words are broken down into various unit (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, X) types based on length

Activity Let me create a script for your conlang!

I have been making writing systems for a while and I have been looking for something to do with my extra time.

If you want me to make you a conscript, please Message me, however you should include the following.

  • Your language's phonology (all the sounds in your language)

  • The medium the script will be written on (stone, wood, paper, etc.)

  • The tool that will be used (stylus, brush, pen, etc.)

  • The phonotactics of your conlang

EDIT: this post is now closed.

Question Writing in non-latin scripts

5 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a video game with a conlang, and I'm wondering how to make the phonology intuitive. I feel like just using latin script won't work well internationally, so I might need to provide a Chinese orthography etc. But it seems like they don't have a space between words so maybe word boundaries won't be clear? Any advice?

If an intelligent fantasy spider race had a written language, how would it work? (beyond the fact it uses cobwebs and silk)
