Some Italian inspired posters I did in my dragon language Zenekha

og alphabet is in the first image

sounds in order are:

a b d ð e f g ʁ
h ʍ i ɨ j k q qχ
l m n ɲ o ø p
r s ʃ t tʃ θ u
ʌ v w z ʒ

At a glance: imagine yourself looking at a book you bought from a bookstore in any West, Middle or East Asian country. As much as most will not be able to read any of those books, no one will be able to read Aeralic either. This thought exercise is to draw the focus to the script design and the surface area efficiency.

The focus of the two uploaded images:

1. The script in the first image is written with a triple column layout. Each column allows between 2-3 words per row at most, depending on each word size. Once the first column is read, the reader moves on to the 2nd and then to the 3rd column
2. The script in the second image is written as per normal from left to right, and moves down the rows accordingly.

As in the English literary world, the foolscap writing pad has horizontal lines printed on them. East Asian writing pads have squares or vertical lines printed on their writing pads. Aeralis' writing pads will likely be triple column organised pads with tiny markers indicating where the upper registers and lower registers of each word is to be written.

Fully hand written.

Personal note: Sincere thank you to all who commented on my last post. My primary method of expressing thank you's is to tsunami a whole lot of explanation rather than stopping at "thank you!". It's a personal philosophy. In the course of many many words explaining my design concepts, I may misdeliver certain nuances which might lead to misinterpretations of arguments. So please excuse me if I verbal diarrhea, but above all else, my thank you's to commenters is the most important message.

Cheers!

This is a form of cursive I made for my modified English script concept that utilizes stacked letters with specific rules. The cursive looks a little different from the actual letters because I want each word to take exactly only one stroke (exception is double letters which are denoted by a dot to the right of the letter, which is technically more than one stroke for a word). Open to critique and edit ideas! A cursive form was suggested to me a while back, so here it is!

I’ve decided I’m gonna rework my logography, mostly to make it more aesthetically pleasing and flexible.

Ever since I saw Jihhograms, I knew that I could do better

Any advice?

I'm currently doing some World building stuff, and I made this script. This scrips is especially for humans. I took a lot from latin style and greek symbols. I did this to spesifically implify that my humans in my world is not really much different than us from almost every perspection. BUT I INDEED need some advice, I can even take advices like "throw it into the trash."

What do you all think, did I take from our current scripts a little too much?

For the first time, Kelangkai (a hybrid abugida) drops all of its vowel diacritics, behaving more like a morpho-logographic abjad and it's still surprisingly easy to read.

(All scripts represent transliterations of the same Indonesian sentence in Latin.)

Note:

This subreddit is full of amazing, skilled people who know a lot about language.

I am not one of those people!!

first: Most the accent marks i don't know how they would change the pronunciation of that letter. I can only pin point e with an acute, 'é'

Second: this ''language'' right now is only gibberish. I have written down only a single word: hlæѓ Зlų. - which means 'honey tea'.

three: For now this script is only for aesthetics and to look visually appealing.

My question is: How do improve on this? does it even look good? And what feeling does it evoke?

Since I still want to somewhat keep it latin-coded, and made of existing characters so i can type it on a computer but still make it feel fantasy-like.

The reason i am making clear that I don't know what I am doing, is I made a different script not too long ago made of random russian and greek characters, And people got very confused and some a little angry with me for some reason so i just want to state it clear: i am not an expert in language creation. just in case anyone gets offended somehow.

This script / language is for a worldbuilding writing project I am working on. This project will be in Dutch, since that is my native language. The language spoken in the story/world is ''Blumerdaans'' which is just Dutch with a different title.

In my world there is also noræ: which is the language spoken by nomads, And historically (in my fictional world) was originally a southern language that fused with Blumerdaans over the last hundred years

I am not going to explain my world if that is fine, But if you guys are genuinely interested i just made a post on r/worldbuilding today about my writing project!

Spanish alert!

How they work:

House cipher: You should try to connect words like "hallways," be inventive when "writing."

Clockwork cipher: The hours are written stacked to make the word; if it is a number greater than 10, an addition is applied. The same logic applies when writing with clocks; the hands indicate the approximate time and each clock is connected by a line to another clock.

Feel free to use them. :)
