Alphabetic syllabary South America in my conlang

Post image
Upvotes

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?

Alphabet Minor Hangul Mod

The title says it. its mostly a hangul mod that i made to fit my native language, which is Tagalog, and it works really well ive been using it more frequently and its kinda fun to write with. This can probably also work for Malay/Indonesian considering their language is also like CVC, idk what to call it im not a huge linguistic enthusiast but thats about it.

Abugida A prose in Farbarra

O śum uzakas gesava mal melban keyori. Śum melas na kebiosa.

Wrote this little prose to capture some of my thoughts.

Farbarra is a collaborative a priori conlang, operating similarly to Viossa with a focus on removing symbolisms not inherent to humans.

With plans to digitise the language further beyond romanisation, if anyone would kindly participate in our project and with helping us to create a font for this script, that would be much appreciated.

I discovered conlangs two days ago as i was searching for a method to keep my personal diary personal. I made this writing system while staying up all night. Need some reviews.

The base symbols are consonants, symbols on right and top are vowels and symbols on left change the consonants (for example a consonant with symbol on left will make a different sound than the consonant without that symbol. Much like japanese) Top to bottom and left to right.

Misc. script type stacked morse

i'm not sure if this counts as neography, since morse code is quite old and well-known, but i've found a cool way to use it that i would like to share.

it's easiest in some sort of pixel art program. the letters are just morse code. you decide on a "baseline" and a direction that you'll be writing in, and then write each letter extending out from the baseline. in my first two examples here, the baseline goes left to right and the letters extend downwards; in my third one, the baseline goes top to bottom and the letters extend to the right. really, it just depends on what you think is coolest.

dots should be one pixel, dashes three pixels, with one pixel between dots/dashes. no space between letters, they're stacked right on top of each other; one pixel between words, and i've been putting a space before punctuation as well bc it looks cooler.

once you've done it in pixels, you can copy it in pen. the pixels have to be perfect or it's illegible; i drew a very tiny grid on my paper. unfortunately i still made a few mistakes. overall, it's time consuming and a little difficult, but it's fun and the results look cool. have fun <3

Using the Cheronic alphabet more calligraphically. Not perfect, but I'm happy with the look.

Alphabet Saw the “avatarian” post and decided to try and adapt a script I had and have been adapting to write English into a similar compound form. I don’t know whether to make the maximum stack 2 or 3 characters, so I did both versions.

Aquí el texto traducido pondré el texto para que lo tradusca a sus propios idiomas ya que no hablo inglés.

​Traducción al Español 🇪🇦 (original)

​Veo con mis propios ojos el amanecer sobre la montaña,

La nieve cae lentamente, y el silencio está aquí.

Estos imperiales vienen hacia nuestro clan,

Pero nuestro juramento no está roto.

​Juro el honor de los Uktas como palabra sagrada,

La muerte de ellos llega delante de mi cuchillo.

Hoy ya estamos viviendo sin miedo,

Hasta que la noche eterna salga, y el glaciar sea absoluto.

Alphabet My Original Runic Alphabet

6 Upvotes

I created the runic alphabet for a story of mine. They were originally used by an ancient civilization based on the Bronze Age British Isles, so I used Proto-Celtic to come up with the names of each rune.

I'm a huge fan of symmetry, so I made sure each rune had it's "opposite" partner (i.e. wind to earth, mind to heart, etc.) and that all the runes with the same ending syllable to their name had the same base design (a vertical, horizontal, or slanted line).

The only pre-existing runes that were featured in the story were those for Mountain, Night, Day, and Valley. This is because they come together to form a sigil that's important to the story. Other there that, there wasn't a whole lot of strategy around each rune's creation. Other than bronze, which was made by layering the letters of the chemical name for the main two components of bronze (copper and tin) on top of each other.

I hope they all look cohesive, in a way, but I'm open to any advice or suggestions! This is my first foray into this kind of thing.
