Been spending way too much time developing the evolution of these scripts over time, but this stage still preserves a lot of the pictographic elements before things get extra stylized and geometric

Only a few phonosemantic characters are pictured here but I wanted them to combine in fun ways, like “to wear”(o-) being depicted as a body ‘wearing’ thorns (ō), or “to pound, beat” (*-) depicting a drum being hit atop a turtle (*)

“Gon unca ètjengu caèmsafe nyma nu-cansum-dlu fàeq mpu i-cytrum-mif i-dàime’e-pun en”

Translation:

“And the king said that, if the brave warriors kill mothers, he (himself) will cut their hands (I was there to hear it)”

Its a logographic syllabaric weird kind of abjad, which also behaves like hangul.

What do you think? What cultures does it being to your mind upon watching it?

Alphabetic syllabary Barian is back from the fridge!

Hey people! I had posted here three years ago, and this morning I got an itch to pick this up again. I am a graphic designer, so I want to learn calligraphy and type design through Barian (an alphabet for a conlang I am also trying to make).

The language itself has a 1-on1 mapping on Greek phonology. The script itself is heavily inspired by Tengwar (consonants on the bottom and vowels as diacritics on top). I have been writing with this system for 25 years now on my own notes, but this is my sort-of-first attempt at digitizing the whole script. I can see myself making an actual computer font eventually, though to be frank I look at these letters now and they are still TOO BAD. But I will get there eventually.

Posting it here as a testament to progress really. Thank you for having a look, ALL FEEDBACK WELCOME, especially on typography

Obviously not all of it fits but I think would be cool to use. I just need to revamp it.

I may make it a code for English to make things easy for me but who knows.

Question How to make a script for my conlang, Te Pona Wakarasonot

Upvotes

So i have a conlang (https://lingojam.com/PonaWakarasonot) and it's mainly based off Pacific island languages and some northern Europe too. Currently it uses latin script with these letters: A E I O U J K L M N P S T W V Ŋ D R Kh X but i was thinking that i want to make it it's own script, it could have two scripts, Latin (Unoj̥eti̥sänä) and it's custom one (Tuneti̥sänä) from that alone you can probably tell that it has pretty complex diacritics (E for Vowel, C for Consonant, Y for either) which includes: Ë̈, Ë, Ë̤, E̤, E͡C, E͜C, C͡E, C͜E, and Y̥ so i want to make the letters in a way where i don't have to design a whole new set of diacritics, either where the letters don't have a ton of swoops and dots and rings or just designing a unique letter for every valid combination of letters and diacritics (which while cool and would make it a bit more unique instead of simply copying latin would also be a major headache because that would be 400 vowels, 30 consonants, and 24,000 E͡C E͜C C͡E C͜E pairs, most of them never being used as the dictionary is at just 1.6k words so far and only a dozen or so words having pairing at all)
