r/conlang

ƚ [l]

I've been developing a videogame and maybe a spin-off story, where there's a secret society called the Agarthians. Their underlying language is a dialect of Esperanto, because it felt like a hassle to design my own language, but I've made a few iterations of a fictional script, so that visually the language looks very alien.

Here is a chart explaining the latest iteration. My problem with it is that each symbol combines a consonant and a vowel or diphthong. So if there are two vowels in a row, this is covered. But if there are two vowels at each side of a consonant and no other consonant to take one of them, I'm screwed.

For example:

friend -> amiko -> am-mi-ko

added -> adicio -> ad-ic-cio

I've been doing this thing of repeating consonants to hold the extra vowels, but that isn't great.

How would you change the rules to solve this?
