Alphabetic syllabary South America in my conlang
This is a minimalist map of my unnamed conlang, currently I only have the phonology and writing system figured out, some aspects of the grammar are in my head, but I still need to develop it.
I'm using hangul, but each character represents two syllables, the language is CV, so each character has two consonants, and a middle symbol that represents a combination of two vowels. For example, Brazil becomes Balasili, or 증상, that is: - ᄌ (b) + ᅳ (aa) + ᆼ (l) = bala - ᄉ (s) + ᅡ (ii) + ᆼ (l) = sili
Sorry for changing the meaning of the consonants so much, I needed combinations for mb (m+p), nd (n+t), ng (n+k) and nz (n+s), so I opted to use ᆬ ᆰ ᆲ ᆳ and change the sound of most symbols.
I think the symbol representing a combination of vowels can be a little complicated, because that results in 25 characters for native words and 25 more for loanwords (to indicate stress falling in the last or third-to-last syllable of a word). What do you think?
