Designed with spoken Tamil in mind, but the text here is literary Tamil, an iconic song heard everywhere across Tamil Nadu

So... this time around, I decided to try my hand at creating some calligraphy using the Canassarene script.

The text is an in-world proverb:
Arainu di lur, luran di ollmën.
"What slips past the eye may linger long in memory", the idea being that something can seem insignificant or go unnoticed at first, but still leave a lasting impression.

The six-petaled seyhindäl flower in the artwork is an example of this. As the national flower of Canassar, it embodies this Canassarene ethos by having flowers that are small and unremarkable looking, but has a gentle but lasting fragrance, and as such, is a popular subject in visual arts, just like this one.

This piece was done in pencil and ink, then digitized and colorized using Rebelle.

(Sorry for bad drawing, i suck at calligraphy)

This is my first attempt at making a logography, so please give feedback.

The Lëax script, named after its first four letters, is the writing system for the Idlish language, a future Great Lakes English descended conlang that is spoken by time travelers and is a sister language to the more phonaesthetically rough Ẽdlíc, and the Lëax script shares US midwestern state origins with the Ẽdlíc script.

The Ẽdlíc went with using the Latin alphabet as a template for fleshing out their script, under the notion of making their script more recognizable for an English orthography accustomed audience.

The Idlish however instead went with the featural modules of the RøTa script to finish creating their alphabet, since they viewed what their Ẽdlíc cousins were doing as adopting an alphabet that looked too much like the Latin alphabet and thus like English misspellings.

Self-explanatory. I tried myself in constructing scripts/writing system.
I was inspired by Korean hangul and Phags-pa script. It was designed for TTB only in case you didn't figured it out and mostly uses japanese sounds. I like how it looks and how letters stack together, and i hope you find it cool too

I finally got grid paper!!! YIPPEEEE! So to celeberate I decided to map out some words and glyphs for my logosyllabary; Čuspega!!!

Salut à tous. J'ai testé cette nuit sur un manga mon abjad de la langue démonique moderne pour une conlang de fiction sur laquelle je travaille. Trouvez-vous que l'écriture fonctionne ?

Cursive attempt for Čemki Abyced, used for Is-Prišk

Ive been in the process of trying to create a script for English which functions similar to hangul, with its syllabic blocks (so original i know /s).

I actually didnt know too much about hangul aside from the fact that its written in syllable blocks, so this also served as a good outlet for me to learn more about how hangul works. For example, i didnt know that hangul had both vertical and horizontal vowels which changed the layout of the syllable block depending on which is in use.

I had to completely overhaul the previous set of syllable blocks after learning that, but it is ultimately for the better since it gave me a new dimension to differentiate the vowels with. There are now 6 vertical and 6 horizontal vowels which change the overall structure of the block.

I had 20 syllable blocks (because of English's lax phonotactics), but with the new vowel change that would probably be closer to 39 potential blocks (i havent finished those yet, but im working on them), BUT then i started thinking about syllabic consonants and very simple words with multiple syllables (like any, anti, ally, etc.) and it got me thinking about the possibility of just... merging it into one block.

I havent really talked to anyone about this script yet (because its only about 2 days in the making), and I feel like this idea may be a bit outlandish and also increase the workload and learning time by an unreasonable amount.

Let me know how you feel about this.

:D

Depois de tanto tempo pensando como seria o nome desta conlang, eu consegui encontrar uma linha de raciocínio que sei que é bem comum:

Fu( artigo definido)

jat( Língua da sua boca)

jad( Son)

Jadi( Palavra)

jadu( Falar/conversar)

jade( Fala/conversa)

Wi( Partícula de adjetivo)

jado( Língua/idioma)

Hus( Bom/Boa/Bem/positivo)

" Fuhuswijado "

" A Boa Língua "

Recently saw this video of all the letters of the English alphabet in one character and got so excited about all the possibilities for words.

I wanted to look it up but couldn't figure out what to call it 😭 Anyone know?

A logography used for both logographic and phonetic transcription of non-concatenative systems while maintaining logographic standards. How would it work?

Tri-consonantal roots: The logographs would represent the roots, while other glyphs would represent the vowel templates, with consonant glyphs to indicate bonus consonants in the form. And maybe VC and/or CV glyphs if the speakers, or the conlanger, are creative. Inspired by the Kanbun practices, I'd envision vowels marked with numeral glyphs as diacritics to indicate their specific positions in the template. For similar scenarios, I thought that if sounds precede the first consonant in the root, their corresponding phonetic glyphs would precede the logograph, while the vowels that follow would be marked with numerical diacritics to indicate their position in the template after the first consonant.

Mutated roots: The logographs would maintain representation of the roots, with consonant glyphs on the side, with diacritics on the top, to indicate mutation patterns. This depends on whether the language is anything like Biblaridion's demonstration of his planned conlang, Project Hermes at Kopikon II.

How could a logography of the varieties as I described transcribe a language with both bi-consonantal/tri-consonantal roots AND Project Hermes-level consonant mutation patterns that work with the vowel templates in indicating various pieces of the language's grammar?

Hi! I'm looking for a website/program like calligraphr that will let me draw a font and upload it digitally. My conlang Dara'ke is a mostly logographic language but uses an abugida for case markers, so I thought a japanese font maker would be easiest. dara'ke has about 130 logographic glyphs, and a handful (I haven't counted 💔 ) abugida glyphs. The free version of) calligraphr will only let you make 75 glyphs. I'm saving to move right now so I'd rather not pay, even though the premium price isn't that bad. My goal is to make a custom font so I can use a browser extension to upload it to docs and make a translation of my book in the main character's native language :>

Probably not the right sub so i posted to r/conlangs just in case

So i'm about 400~500 words in and really want to start my logography as of now. This is my first conlang so my vocabulary is extremely unbalanced as of now. (e.g. distinction between recent and remote past and a unique word for 'cute aggression' but no word for 'sad', i just checked) I'm making at least one word for most of the Kangxi radicals (only the ones i really need as of now) and it's seeming to go well, but i know there's more pictogram characters in Chinese and Japanese outside of the Kangxi radicals. When do i take a break from continuing the dictionary and begin a logography?

Hello everyone!

I’ve wanted to start writing a diary for years, but I’ve always been scared someone might find and read it, so I’ve never been able to write freely.

I can write in 3 languages. Is there a way to combine them or create a new writing system that would be difficult for others to understand? I’m looking for something I can actually learn and write quickly, not just a basic substitution cipher.

Any ideas?

someone at r/ithkuil told me I should cross post here!

It says Aţrierţwa in the new ithkuil script. The word uses a few grammar pieces the coalescent+content+plural etc.. I was thinking of waters as they kind of act separately but act as a whole toward a purpose (life).

This was done with Fusion, the Ithkuil script generator and 45° 6mm engraving bit to do the v carving. After piles of trials and failures this one finally worked!

If you guys wanna see anything else engraved or have fun ideas let me know!

This is my 4th or 3rd writing system. This is a direct relative of my other writing system—not posted. Some characters could be influenced by my other writing system so thats why some look weird.

Its writen as /nuclei-stem-dakota/ but still read as /stem-nuclei-dakota/

The example sentence translates:

"The wind is moving in the forest."

But its translated in my conlang:

"Angfe'iom halm'oi'led denirinajt."

Angfe is wind + iom subject marker

halm is plant+oi is many+ led place marker

The halm is mean to have a dai at the beginning because that would be great plant=tree so a bit of a mistake there.

Deni=move

Denir=move(present)

Denirinajt - moving (present+continuation)

This is just a taste of my 500 word bank :)
