But, like other people, I have no idea how to do it. All the help sites are for complete Conlags. Does anybody know where I can go for help?

Do you want to use abstract symbols for words?

Basically, I'd imagine you could use the Language Construction kit and just skip the phonology. mad D

My friend is helping me with it. After looking at my handwritting, I figured out that I use curves a lot, so my conlag/cipher is going to be very curvy.

I like curvy scripts! Let us know how it's coming along!

I'm also having this problem. I don't know what I want script-wise. (But Niora is picking up speed, so it seems incomplete without it...) confused

With the very cute feel that you're giving Niora, I suggest making the writing system cute too. Try using a bunch of rounded letters, perhaps?

That's a good idea, but to tell you the truth, serali88 is helping me! ^^

MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It's true! MWAAHAHAHAHAHA! Should I make more then one? You said the thing about the rounded letters.....*Drools on keyboard* I love scripts like that. I have more ideas AAAAAAAAAAAH!

It's a good thing though because after I'm done with the script I'm going to make more for me! YAY! I'm so greedy. mrgreen

Hehe... I'm liking your enthusiasm! Um, I actually though you could make one for the "ancient" Niora, which would change in the symbols, but not in the spoken tongue, and one for "common" or "modern" Niora, which would kind of be simplified, so the ancient one would actually be more beautiful than the common. 3nodding

Seku furu ipe 'help'. (Oh, dear, I need a word for that, don't I? confused *makes one*)

If it's entirely written, it's more like a cypher, no? You don't care about phonology at all. So it's ok to make symbols either for English letters or for sequences of letters (say, you have one each for que and for qua and for ja and for ck and for ex and etc... sets of 2 and 3 by letters, even if they can't exactly be sounded out.), or make symbols for words. You could make one symbol mean a group of completely unrelated words ("house", "before", "three" = ยง, maybe?).

You're less limited because of your lack of interest in phonology, which is almost more difficult because you have to CHOOSE, muwahahaha.

Anyway, I know this thread's got other stuff in it now, so I hope you get or have gotten to work on your conscripty. I debated moving this thread, but decided that its original topic belonged here in the help forum. So yeah. Hi!
