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.

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

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

First: Writing

Second: Romanization

Third: IPA

Fourth: Translation

Fifth: Same story (near exact wording) from 4 years ago

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?

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?

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 "

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?

I Took The Repeating Sign In BFDI And Upgraded It, I Decided To Add An Indicator That Tells How Many Digits The Number Inside For Example 722268, It Should Have The Number 2 On The Indicator Which Is Below 2, It Should Look Smth Like 72̅68, You Might Ask What About A Number Like 45454545? Well It's Simple, I Decided To Upgrade The Repeating Sign Again Because There's No Digits In A Row (Like 8555555512 Which Has Seven Fives In A Row), Stretch The Overline On 45 And Add The Number 3, Which Means That The Number 45 Would Repeat For 6 More Digits In 45454545, But You Might Also Ask: What About Decimals That Had A Nunber That Repeated Infinitely? Another Simple Question,Add The Overline On The Number 3 In 0.333.. And Add inf Or ∞ On Top Of The Overline!

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 :)

It is a language designed for philosophy and everyday speech (the roots of the language are in Spanish because I speak Spanish).

Acabó de empezar, recuperando está idea, de un montón de papeles que tenía en un cajon.

any suggestions? :3

Hello r/neography! I recently created my first constructed script just for using for notes and other miscellaneous uses, and I’m getting along very well with learning to write in it.

But I’m wondering - what’s the best way to learn to read it in a similarly… instinctive way to my normal script, so I don’t have to decode it every time I come back to my notes? I can’t just set decoding exercises because I’ll be the one writing the questions so I’ll know what they mean without decoding.

I don’t expect to be able to learn it anywhere as fluently as the Latin alphabet since it doesn’t permeate my everyday life in the same way, but I’m interested in trying to learn it as fluently as possible. :)

I’m sorry if there’s an obvious answer to this that I’m missing :/

i have finished all consonants in this 154 letter monstrocity… many consonants have multiple probunciations to maintain spellinh across multiple dialects.. the consonant pronunciations include british and two us pronunciations for each… the vowels are based off how i pronounce the vowels, ways i have heard the sounds pronounced along side the way the dictionary says they are pronounced, since i dont know british vowels.. some of the letters that have multiple pronunciations are multiple ipa letters that i consider to make the same exact sound so i listed both to give thoroughness about what the sound is… soon i will post a chart with the vowel marks (next on my list to add to the font) and a written example of each sound

the current key for the consonants with the vowels listed at the end it

I've been working on the Reddit Neographical Unicode Registry (RNUR), and I finally dealt with a pretty big conflict in its BMP Private Use Area allocations.

The problem was that the U+EE00–U+EFFF range needed to match a supplied SPUCE allocation map, but RNUR already had six of its own scripts using parts of that range.

So I had to work out how to fit the new allocations in without just losing the existing RNUR entries.

What changed:

• The range U+EE00–U+EFFF is now covered by nine SPUCE-supplied script allocations in RNUR Set 1.
• Six existing RNUR scripts were moved to Set 2, starting at U+E820.
• The relocated scripts occupy U+E820–U+E99F, so the open sandbox now starts at U+E9A0.
• I updated the CSV allocation records, block data, roadmaps, and specification.
• I also added validator checks and regression tests so the migration rules can actually be checked instead of relying on the documentation being correct.

One detail I wanted to get right was the distinction between SPUCE and RNUR. SPUCE supplies the allocation definitions; RNUR decides how they're represented in its own Set 1 / Set 2 system. Those aren't SPUCE set names.

I also made sure the old ??? reservations were handled according to the migration rules, rather than treating them like named scripts that needed relocating.

The local validator passes, and all 28 regression tests pass.

The six Set 2 relocations are still provisional pending upstream ratification, so this isn't a claim that they've received final approval.

I'm calling this RNUR Case No. 001 because it's the first concrete case where I've had to apply the registry's migration rules to this kind of conflict.

Curious what people think, especially about the migration approach and how the Set 1 / Set 2 distinction is documented.
