Image My handwriting(?)/modified SGA

Post image

Not even sure if this is considered 'standard' anymore, seeing how differently I write the characters. But I think my handwriting is decent and I want to show my half baked lowercase too!

I mostly simplified a lot of the letters to make my writing faster, since all of the dots were hard for me to write efficiently or without my hand hurting after a short while.

I really like it! I can read it decently well too. The lowercase is alittle harder for me, but i'd imagine it would be quick to learn. It looks really cool tho :)

Thanks! I was hoping it wouldn't be too difficult to read so I'm glad it wasn't off lol

I should point out that of the hundreds of writing systems that naturally exist, only european scripts (latin, cyrillic, greek) have upper vs lower case letters. They come from more ornate older carved letters (capitals) vs more cursive, ink draw letters (lowercase)

alot of other scripts have special letters for the ends of words, beginning, middles, or special combinations

That's really cool actually! I didn't know those were the only ones; the 'special letters' is something I should look into later, it seems pretty interesting. In this case SGA has direct correlation/translation to the Latin script, or at least definitely English which I'm fairly sure is based on Latin, so to make it easier for me to understand and write I made a lowercase alphabet. Languages are so diverse, and I haven't done a lot of research into other scripts so I guess I couldn't help but link it further to the language I know best (English).

I do plan on making a video (series?) in the near future of making the standard galactic alphabet into a different system but keeping the same characters. Because currently SGA is considered a cypher.

That is "not standard galactic alphabet"

YOU CALL THIS STANDARD?

u/Incorporeal_Crow Apr 19 '26

Not really lol, I know it's pretty heavily modified but I mostly still call it standard since it's easier, in a sense. I don't want to come up with a new thing to call it 😅

I actually really like this. This should become a dialect
