How do you transcribe your neography...
my writing system is logographic and forms the basis of a language—with the spoken form being a verbalization of the signs rather than the opposite— and I transcribe it online using Latin characters...
for now I have several ways of writing it in Latin characters :
- by transcribing the closest sounds—though I use different spellings depending on the conventions of my audience's language, the goal being to convey just an idea of the pronunciation...
- by "back-translating" the meaning of the logographic complexes; this offers insight into the language's conceptual framework, even if it gives the text a "broken English" style...
- by assigning a letter to each logogram, which creates a "mojibake" style—perfectly unpronounceable and completely incomprehensible—yet conveys an exotic sense and its writing's brevity...

have you ever had that dream...
have you ever had that dream...
where you found a book on the Universal Language...
reading it in a state of excitement, shaken by the information it contained...
only to find, upon waking, that you couldn't recall a thing...
all that remains is the powerful impression, the intense emotion you felt in the dream...

when you choose to publish your conlang and it's intended for irl, you have to move on and accept only an honorary role,

the creator's authority exists only within a limited community,
copyright laws are ill-suited to intangible creations,
auxiliary languages are inherently political, and power struggles are their driving force...
the dissemination of your conlang isn't the culmination, it's the end of your career, the end of a parent who no longer has a say in their child's destiny...
that's life, even for living languages...
