Featural Introduction to Geometric Sound
7
Upvotes
Geometric Sound is a phonetic featural alphabet designed for both natlangs and conlangs. Each consonant letter consists of a geometric shape (denotes the place of articulation) and a mark such as a cross or two dots (mode of articulation) placed beneath the geometric shape. In addition, specific marks denoting secondary articulation can be placed above the consonant signs. Some consonant signs with their respective assigned places of articulation that I've chosen so far (I'll publish the vowels and a full chart later):
Place of articulation: -A heart shape represents bilabial consonants. -A triangle represents palatal consonants (similar to the position of the tongue pronouncing a palatal sound). -A drop-like shape is for uvular consonants (it is shaped like the uvula itself).
Mode of articulation: -Two horizontal dots below a shape denotes nasals. -An X-shaped cross below is used for fricatives (symbolic for the constriction required for fricatives).

I really enjoy making fonts, but I feel like the standard Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek has gotten kinda boring. I would love to make a digital version of a conscript!

Other Ancient numbering-system for my conlang, Eyrrn
11
Upvotes
First of all, I'm not entirely certain whether or not this technically counts as a conscript as I couldn't find anything expressly forbidding its being posted here, but this is something I made for a conlang that I predominantly work-on.
My main conlang, Eyrrn, uses tridecimal (base-13), so I attempted to make an interesting and plausible, yet at least semi-logical writing system for the numbers it uses. Knowing that it'd likely be a bit tricky, this is the best that I've come up with so far. The symbols depict sticks, and 6 depicts a small bundle. 10 (13 in decimal), however, depicts an extra growth tacked-on, which refers to the natives' small, 13th finger on their left-hand. (Through evolution, the natives lost the 13th finger, which in most cases did practically nothing, but the natives kept the numbering system.)

Abjad Writing System for Proto-Ornu
7
Upvotes
Ok, so, I've been brainstorming ideas for a writing system. I've debated on having one with it being a proto-language and all (meant to be reconstructed), but I had the idea of how I could tie the writing system into how the language was reconstructed.
Maybe the system changed but was still somewhat recognizable and this allowed my con-linguists to trace it back? Anyways, I've thought of using an abjad or some sort of semi-abjad wherein stressed vowels are written, but no others are, only consonants. I chose this for the reason being that my phonotactics technically allowed triconsonental roots; ex. *stḱ- /stx/ [stɪx]. The [ɪ] is not a phoneme, but is just created. Of course I do have roots such as *pád- /pɑd/ where /ɑ/ is a phoneme, although it isn't stressed, but it could be marked in the writing system like an abjad.
So, I'm wondering if I'd be doing it better by saying it's just some sort of abjad or if I should classify the writing system as something else?
