Two encryption systems I made: House cipher and Clockwork cipher.

Spanish alert!

How they work:

House cipher: You should try to connect words like "hallways," be inventive when "writing."

Clockwork cipher: The hours are written stacked to make the word; if it is a number greater than 10, an addition is applied. The same logic applies when writing with clocks; the hands indicate the approximate time and each clock is connected by a line to another clock.

Feel free to use them. :)

Triple column writing pad layout in Aeralis World | Language of Air

At a glance: imagine yourself looking at a book you bought from a bookstore in any West, Middle or East Asian country. As much as most will not be able to read any of those books, no one will be able to read Aeralic either. This thought exercise is to draw the focus to the script design and the surface area efficiency.

The focus of the two uploaded images:

  1. The script in the first image is written with a triple column layout. Each column allows between 2-3 words per row at most, depending on each word size. Once the first column is read, the reader moves on to the 2nd and then to the 3rd column
  2. The script in the second image is written as per normal from left to right, and moves down the rows accordingly.

As in the English literary world, the foolscap writing pad has horizontal lines printed on them. East Asian writing pads have squares or vertical lines printed on their writing pads. Aeralis' writing pads will likely be triple column organised pads with tiny markers indicating where the upper registers and lower registers of each word is to be written.

Fully hand written.

Please feel free to dm or email languageofair@gmail.com for the incomplete Rosetta Stone (still compiling and writing pedagogical materials on the orthographic rules of the Aeralic alphabet script).

Personal note: Sincere thank you to all who commented on my last post. My primary method of expressing thank you's is to tsunami a whole lot of explanation rather than stopping at "thank you!". It's a personal philosophy. In the course of many many words explaining my design concepts, I may misdeliver certain nuances which might lead to misinterpretations of arguments. So please excuse me if I verbal diarrhea, but above all else, my thank you's to commenters is the most important message.

Cheers!

Do you ever find that you can write easily in your script but can hardly read it back?

Does it happen to just me? ^^" i swear my system is super simple.

Script evolution in Pherilya

Pherilya is a low fantasy Dieselpunk world inspired in WWI, where human emotion and culture creates gods, and ancient empires fuel new decadent empires that are condemned to fall. The setting was thought to take place during the Great Teotarean Nations War (that is 2400 A.I), so I decided to create the history of the world to flesh out the present. Basically, the special characteristic that defines my world is that energy or "magic" comes from humanoid emotions, causing the energy to be stored in the recipient of the emotion. 

History is divided into four ages: the ancient age, the magic age, the dark age and the new age. The maps show you from the start of the ancient age to the end of the dark age. This last age started with a cataclysm named Sayarkham, where a meteor crashed into one of Pherilyas moons and made a huge mess. This made a nation known now as the imperium colapse, hence the loss of the Kalem script.

Pherilya is divided into five human races, left behind by the Nerites: the Vaar, the Enshlik, the Natlak, the Shuman and the Urok. All four have their differences in mind and body, but time and interbreeding would diversify even more the human population, creating cultures, religions and wars. In the depths of the Encata continent, one can find a race of humanoid insects, but these do not possess a written language and have historically been displaced by other races.

My style…?

I’ve decided I’m gonna rework my logography, mostly to make it more aesthetically pleasing and flexible.

Ever since I saw Jihhograms, I knew that I could do better

Any advice?

A Greek-Latin like alphabet for humans.

I'm currently doing some World building stuff, and I made this script. This scrips is especially for humans. I took a lot from latin style and greek symbols. I did this to spesifically implify that my humans in my world is not really much different than us from almost every perspection. BUT I INDEED need some advice, I can even take advices like "throw it into the trash."

What do you all think, did I take from our current scripts a little too much?

how Ndemwa takes into account Gĩkũyũ's grammar, phonotactics, and vocabulary in casual writing.

img 1: this is not a comprehensive list of Gĩkũyũ phonemes, just a decent sample to show the vowel conformity and patterns, as well as how even exceptions are well accounted for.

img 2: not much to say, all is explained in the image. if an example of gĩcandĩ imagery is requested i have no problem providing

img 4: the height of tje syllables conveniently fits gĩkũyũ tonal structure. since the noun class markers are all toneless, that leaves only the two-line height characrers open to tonal indication

My Modified English Cursive Concept

This is a form of cursive I made for my modified English script concept that utilizes stacked letters with specific rules. The cursive looks a little different from the actual letters because I want each word to take exactly only one stroke (exception is double letters which are denoted by a dot to the right of the letter, which is technically more than one stroke for a word). Open to critique and edit ideas! A cursive form was suggested to me a while back, so here it is!

What do you guys do about feeling dissatisfied with a script?

I'm starting to feel like with every new script I make or use, I get obsessed over it, until something begins to feel off about it, like a deep, sinking feeling in my chest that tells me that something about this script is wrong, like no matter how many revisions or how many times you write it out you still feel dissatisfied with it, until you eventually drop it. Have you guys experienced this? How did you deal with it?

Brief Showcase of Kwaju Script

As soon as I saw this sub-reddit here, I knew I had to get my stuff on here.

This is Kwaju Script, derived from "Kwa Watu Wa Jua," or "For the People of the Sun" in Swahili. The script is a hybrid abugida for Swahili that's heavily inspired by Meroitic Cursive and Ge'ez scripts. This project Is my attempt to inspire people to use, or to make African scripts to be used and shared for their native languages by making it fun and easy to write. It can be written both horizontally and vertically in a left to right format.

The script has grown and changed a lot over the past few days, so there may be some errors within the script that differentiates from the given key.

I really do wanna make this script as easy and as fun to write as possible, so I ask for your thoughts and feedback on the script! (PLEASE)

note: Z, W, S and the E vowel marker have changed from previous iterations of the script.

u/SupaSudo009 — 2 days ago

Made a new script, tried to be a little creative.

I made this script, with obvious influence with Phoenician script. Any tips or improvements I should add to make it more unique? I'm open to any criticism

u/Spiritual_Algae_7220 — 3 days ago

The “my dear Arthur” letter from rdr2 translated using two of the script I’m working on for a conlang

They are both abuguidas except one put a symbol below to delete the vowel and the other uses a variation of the symbol. Also if you had to pick which to use, what would you choose?
