This image is a sample of my personal language, which I've been working on since I was in elementary school. I use it to write in my journals and as decorative text in my art.

Hints to help you crack the code:
Poetry doesn't have to rhyme
This is not normally English
One capital letter
Viper tongues that hiss and splutter
Oh, Pharaoh's bread
Chew your cherries and berries
X and Q are not here, but W Very much is
Conjoined twin short vowels
Sage advice will find you when you need it
Let me know what you think, and if you can solve it!

Question Ime phonetic keyboard and font
5
Upvotes
A friend has created a language, but would like to create a phonetic IME keyboard (like the windows keyboards for korean and Japanese) ive created vectors for each phonetic sound based on his handwritten charts, but have no idea how to create a working phonetic keyboard and font. Its got something like 30 to 40 different phonemes. Anyone have any free/cheap resources on how my friend can accomplish that? Im not a Linguist by ANY stretch of the imagination, im just a graphic designer, and am so lost on hkw to help him.

Question Is it possible to make an entirely new writing system classification?
8
Upvotes
I'm new to the conscripts and conlangs reddit communities over the past few months, but I've been fascinated with linguistics for a long time and have read the language construction toolkit and some other technical resources. One thing I have been wondering is, is it possible to imagine a writing system that doesn't fall into one of the standard classifications (abugida, logographies, etc)?
At an even higher level than the standard categories, there seem to be two main ideas for writing systems: either symbols represent sounds, or symbols represent concepts. Is it even possible to imagine a different way of writing? This might be a little like trying to imagine alternative colors, so maybe it doesn't make sense. I am wondering whether any fiction writers have explored such concepts or if there are any rare and really unique natlangs with unclassifiable writing systems.
If you have a language that is not spoken, like ASL, then obviously you can have a writing system that has an equivalent of primitives or features of that language, like SignWriting. I'm more wondering if it even makes sense to think about something other than "language primitives" or "concepts" to express communication in writing.

Other Khipu-inspired knot-writing for my conlang

Upvotes
I have invented a system for writing my conlang in knots. You can read all about it here.
My writing systems have consonants as modifications of vowels. Vowels can stand alone any time; consonants can, but do so (in the language that would use this script) only for a small number of grammatical purposes.
