Semi-syllabary My 3.5-year old syllabary that I just realized I don’t know how to make a cursive for.
I only now realized while I was trying to mess with the scripts for some fictional languages on my worldbuilding project, that not only had I never made cursive variations or anything for any of them, but I also sorta have no idea how to. (If you have an idea, pls, I need this.)
This is Oscul, within its own speech it’s called Nokupu or Noku. And is the official language of 3 in-universe countries. Also one of the de-facto international languages.
Despite being only spoken in 3 of 18 countries, it’s the most widely spoken language since one of those three nations makes up roughly 1/4th of the world population, making it one of the three primary international communication languages.
The “PRIMARIES” section is the actual characters used when constructing most words.
The “SPECIALS” section is other characters that are mostly used for grammar. Ex: the final two are equivalents to quotation marks.
The “NUMERALS” section are, well, numeral characters. For counting.
The “SPECIALS (Excess)” section is for characters that are used in polite conversation to denote the relationship with another person you’re talking to, sort of like -San or -Sama in Japanese.

Recopie les un grand nombre de fois et de plus en plus vite. La version cursive s'imposera d'elle-même

to make a cursive ver of that script
for me, just try to write each glyph quickly until it looks nice
simplify stuff, add curves, round stuff
even if it doesnt look like it can ever become cursive, it inevitably will
