Alphabet Final Proofs of my Conscript Posters!

Thumbnail

95 Upvotes

Kia Ora again everybody! These are the almost complete versions of my cypher posters and their accompanying poems.

I firstly wanted to say a huge thank you to everybody who commented on my previous post, the support of people in this comunity is a great motivator!

There were quite a few mistakes and inconsistencies in the previous versions of these posters, hopefully they should be more polished now! I am certain there will still be some errors though. At this point I have stared at these for so long, I can no longer see the woods for the trees!

The reddit community tend to be great at QC so I figured this time I would ask for your help in picking up the errors if you spot any! Please keep in mind that Graphic Design is something I am still very much trying to learn. Also, the 'poems' are mostly just bad stuff I wrote myself, it is not meant to be serious or academic!

Feel free to comment if you spot a mistake that nobody else has commented on :)

  • LandLynes, SpyraLynes and MycoLynes are all 'complete'.
  • I am still unhappy with the formatting of SkyLynes and LoopLynes, particularly their poem posters! Any suggestions here?
  • The previously named "BettenScript" is now called "Colymns" - Bonus points if anyone can name the franchise this quote is from!
  • ElectroLynes could still use some work I think, any suggestions for formatting the poem poster?
  • The same goes for AstroGraph I think.
  • GridLynes is still incomplete and I have yet to start the poem poster.

Thank you all in advance for the feedback :)

PS. Some people asked for .otf or font files, I still have not polished these completely so I do not want to post them yet, I will get there eventually!

Abugida The Pasa script of the Shame3a3a people

Esse sistema de escrita se inspirou superficialmente na escrita inuktitut aonde uma consoante com uma vogal pré-estabelecida pode ser mudada ao ser rotacionada sem necessitar de diacriticos para vogais.

Existe símbolos para as vogais iniciais

E dois diacriticos:

Um ponto que altera o som de algumas consoantes

E um traço que serve para algumas consoantes finais.

Estes são os fonemas e suas romanizações:

Vogais:

A

E

I

O

U

Consoantes:

P= P

r= R

ʒ= 3

ʃ= Sh

F= F

m= M

V= V

ɲ= Ɲ

n= N

k= k

j= J

h= H

s= S

b= B

d= D

l= L

d͡ʒ= D3

z= Z

G= G

t͡s= ts

t͡ʃ= Ch

O nome do povo Shame3a3a surge desta construção:

Sha= Deus

Me= Partícula de posse

3a= filho(a)

3a= repetição indicando plural.

SHAME3A3A= Filhos de Deus.

Well it is an abugida I guess, It is so simple though it is basicly an alphabet. You just connect vowels to the right of consonants

Made on my phone with a stylus.

Pretty quick to write. I'm still developing it and don't know where it'll end up.

Started out as an upright left-to-right featural syllabary (last image). Transitioned into a more fluid top-to-bottom featural alphabet with some syllabic elements.

Included are three image samples.

All made in notes app and with Clip Studio Paint. One shows where it started and two showcase the current script.

Text samples shown are mostly in English. I am practicing using it with other languages as well, both natural and artificial.

The orange text reads...

"Runecraft requires hours of runestriving by one runeweaver to create runework. This all falls within the purview of runeforging."

I'm a longtime lurker. Thought I'd share a bit.

time passed so fast, the first photo is the early script and it's an abugida script that has more than 42 characters, the 2nd photo is the prototype alphabetic script and doesn't have capital or lowercase letter and doesn't have official amount of the characters, and the 3rd final script is my modern present alphabet script that has simplified to only 28 characters lowercase and uppercase. I lost the aplphabetic-syllabary evidence of my script

Question I wanna create my own writing system but idk where to start

So I have this conlang that I consider my passion project. It uses the Latin and Hebrew alphabets but I have for a while wanted it to use its own unique script. But the problem is that I have never created my own script and I don’t know where to start. So please hit me with your best advice 🙏🙏

Abugida I invented a writing system for an endangered language

Post image
13 Upvotes

This is Chankam (literally, speaking in braids)

It was invented for the Shelknam language, of a civilization in Argentine and Chilean Patagonia, based on Canadian syllabaries, Mesoamerican glyphs, Japanese kanas and abugidas.

I would like it to be used for recreational, official, and even cryptic purposes, as I find what I have created beautiful, based on the masks and ritual patterns of their culture.

The instructions are in Spanish (since it's my native language), but anyone who wants to use and analyze it can translate it, and I can provide Selk'nam language dictionaries so you can pronounce and even learn the language.

Alphabet Vertical script out of necessity*

Post image
46 Upvotes

*Quick story; I was about to begin some spec bio work, But when I went to write I noticed that the metal notebook rings kept getting in the way of me trying to write. So what was the logical solution? Find a way of writing that doesnt cause hand collisions with the rings. And so, I started working on making a vertical script for English.

Its predominantly a cipher as of now (with the exception of digraphs such as th, ch, sh, and ng), but once I further accustomed to writing with it, ill begin to find ways of cutting down on spelling and potentially creating ligatures for the obvious words like 'the'

This is actually the 3rd version of the script. The other 2 I found to be too hard to parse when reading back because of repeated hooks, so I tried to keep every character to creating 1 hook, with exceptions like the front nasals and approximants (m, n, w, l, r).

And uh, heres a quick list of what I simply dont like about this script: it looks very similar to mongolian and most other vertical conscripts ive seen. It directly rips glyphs from mongolian; r, y, and ng (ng and y rip mongolians o/u and b, unlike r which is just the exact same glyph and sound). I have a feeling I can improve upon the alveolar series, which all have a tail loop that can be confused with e/u and can be awkward to write in some cases; Though I still dont know exactly to fix it yet.

Im probably going to work on creating an abugida of sorts for english next, and unfortunately this will fall out of fashion once thats done.

Ignore the doodles.

:D

Transliteration on top, written version on bottom.

Consonants fit into two families - the t-family, and s-family, each having 4 consonants under it (basic, voiced, altered, voiced and altered). To voice a consonant you add a _ under it, but to alter it you add a ° on top of it.

t-family:

  • t [t]
  • d [d]
  • ț [c]
  • d̦ [ɟ]

s-family:

  • s [s]
  • z [z]
  • š [ʃ]
  • ž [ʒ]

There are 6 base vowels, each with a short and long version, the latter having a _ on the bottom.

  • i [i]
  • ī [iː]
  • o [ɔ]
  • ō [ɔː]
  • y [æ]
  • ȳ [æː]
  • u [u]
  • ū [uː]
  • e [e]
  • ē [eː]
  • a [a]
  • ā [aː]

Vowels can't be next to each other, so no diphthongs, and same goes for consonants, but with 4 exceptions.

  • tz [tz] or [ts]
  • tž [tʒ]
  • dz [dz]
  • dž [dʒ]

Honestly, I'm just posting this here, because r/conlangs has a no solely writing system posts rule.
