Mine sort of has two, since the writing system is completely different from the oral, but while working on the oral, I use roman letters adding a, o, u (although the line is supposed to be above the letter) while omitting c, j, m, q, v, w, x, y, and z (this is also used as a lower form of writing)
It'd probably make more sense if I had an example... I'll work on that.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to make your own? I was wanting to do something like kanji and I started on a syllabry, but the syllabry looks too much like kana.

I spend a lot of time sounding out the letters and deciding what they look like in my mind. Then again, I've got a touch of synesthesia stare

I've made some alphabets. And a syllabary, as well. Started working on a pictograph writing system too, but that turned out to be a lot of work. But I want to pick that back up...
Starting with a pictographic system and then developing an alphabet or syllabary from it is something I want to do, since that's a "natural" progression for languages. It's just a matter of having free time, and interest and energy when I have said free time. XD

I was thinking of borrowing kanji from Chinese and Japanese. (Japanese is basically traditional Chinese though.) And the making a syllabry that actually looks almost nothing like kana! Except the vowels I think....

I've been considering doing another language with a kana-type syllabary, using voiced/unvoiced consonant pairs for something. (Gender, maybe.)

Hawk_McKrakken I've made plenty of alphabets, but I have... NO idea what a syllabary is. confused Anyone have examples? It's where you write syllables as letters instead of phonemes. wink Japanese uses the kana syllabaries; instead of writing, for instance, the letters 'h' and 'i' for 'hi', they just write the letter for 'hi'. Sorry if my explanation doesn't make sense. gonk

Obviously syllabaries are only practical if you've only got a relatively small number of possible syllables - which is why Japanese has them, but English doesn't.

DavidGemmell Obviously syllabaries are only practical if you've only got a relatively small number of possible syllables - which is why Japanese has them, but English doesn't. Also because of the combinations of consonants (which is part of the variety issue). I consider syllabaries every time I start on a language, but I like being able to combine sounds a lot xd "dla" is one of my favorites sounds whee

I'll work on that. Okay. Here's a quick example:  is an entire sentence (they love compacting things) that basically translates to "The man has no daughters" It is derived from:  = man (bolded in the example because it is the subject)  = girl  = none or no Spoken (and written) it would be: teken on uk
