I was just wondering, has anyone else made and alphabet or syllabry besides me and Forgedawn? I think that's one of the most fun parts of making your own languages. I'm making a syllabry as soon as I find my sharpies that borrows all the sounds of Japanese with a few extra added. But the characters are going to be alot different. I was also thinking of somthing like kanji and hangeul, but i'm not sure about that just yet.
I'd like to see what everyone's alphabets/syllabries look like and compare them to others we have all seen (or haven't seen yet).
I'll post mine as soon as I can.

I've only made about NINETY of them. xD
I have writing systems for any and all of Aquenandi's twenty-something dialects. I have writing systems for the obsolete Aquenandi roots, which are the roots for all of the more modern dialectical systems. There's a common system as well. xd

I haven't gotten even close to dialects yet. I hope I'll get that far and not give up like I do everything else. (Except language and music xd )

Hermonie Urameshi I was just wondering, has anyone else made and alphabet or syllabry besides me and Forgedawn? I think that's one of the most fun parts of making your own languages. I'm making a syllabry as soon as I find my sharpies that borrows all the sounds of Japanese with a few extra added. But the characters are going to be alot different. I was also thinking of somthing like kanji and the Korean one (if someone knows the name please tell me), but i'm not sure about that just yet.
I'd like to see what everyone's alphabets/syllabries look like and compare them to others we have all seen (or haven't seen yet).
I'll post mine as soon as I can. The Korean writing system is called Hangeul. 3nodding Myt friend and I tried to come up with our own writing system, just to send notes during class and so, but we never managed to learn reading it. >.< So if I'm gonna make my own conlang, it'll probably be written with Roman letters. smile

I did that while learning Russian, and now I can read it as fast as Roman lettering.

I need to redo mine, it takes forever to write because it's too uniform.
I wrote the letters in the alphabet file, started to make a font, never finisehd (program's probalby expired now), and then copied and pasted for the sentences in my teaching page.
#1 way to fix difficulty in writing: write a lot.
If you made the alphabet, it's ok if you change the letters in the process biggrin

I came up with an alphabet for one of my languages, Yoa, but unfortunately I only recorded it in a little pocket notebook, and now I can't find that notebook, and I don't remember all the letters. gonk
It was a cool writing system, too. It was essentially an alphabet, only instead of writing two or three vowels in a row for dipthongs (which occur a LOT in Yoa), I had them written as one vowel with an added marking to show the vowel is "modified".

I'm always typing when I'm working on it, so I tend to stick to symbols that Notepad can handle.
However, in handwriting, I did think of having a single accent stretched across diphthongs*, which is about the closest I've come to inventing anything new.
* (In my one, diphthongs can only be formed from two long vowels, and long vowels are marked by acute accents. So I figured that'd help cut down on the amount of accents to draw.)

I've αctually found α whole ton of letters on MSWord thαt look like letters from my writing systems. The problem is putting the vowels in place. D;
You see, the vowels αre diacritics. I cαn't remember the proper term αt the moment. D;
With some of the letters thαt I steαl from Arαbic, I cαn wing it. But the others...?
One of my scripts is fαirly eαsy to portrαy, though, becαuse it αctuαlly hαs α lot tαken from Romαn lettering. xD
