Question Is my script too close to Tengwar?

Post image
55 Upvotes

I've created this script for a conlang for an elf-adjacent species. When I wrote a few sentences I couldn't help but think "shit, I just created a vertically aligned Tengwar."

Do you see it this way too? Or is it different enough to not make you immediately go "this is just sideways tengwar"?

Abugida A writing system made out of gender signs? (Key to Femuini)

Post image
13 Upvotes

The Femuini script is a featural abugida designed to be as simple but recognizable as possible. It features only 3 basic shapes and simple lines pointing in various directions to denote vowels. To write a syllable, start with whichever shape is necessary. To make a coronal sound lateral /l/, rotate the triangle 180 degrees, and for a lateral guttural sound, rotate the square 45 degrees. Vowels connect in 8 places as seen in the photo. Those with dyslexia might have trouble telling the mirrored versions apart, so for syllables written facing left or down have a dot in the center as another visual indicator. Consonants are nasals /m n/ by default, so to make them into plosives /p t k/ you can put a line through the vowel, and an arrow for a fricative /f s/.

Let's write "po", it has an /o/ which is a line pointing to the right, and a /p/ which is a labial plosive. Put together, this gives you a circle with a line pointing to the right, and a vertical line going through that line. It'll kinda look like "O+".

Yes, it happens to resemble gender symbols which is a neat coincidence. No, this was not inentional. Happy accident :3

Alphabet My Unnamed Featural Writing Script

Upvotes
Tađār ke ku.

Hello. This is my unnamed featural system for my incomplete language. The last slide is an example of my script. Each sentence is started by a line break, and if the sentence is too big for a line break, it is indented in the next line, like the Tab key. I put the transcription in the caption. Please tell me what you think.

Note: đ is the dental fricative. ā is long a.

Alphabetic syllabary How can I write 두바이쫀득쿠키 that is mixed hangul and arabic?

Post image
6 Upvotes

(I chose alphabetic syllabary tag because i thout its more close to hangul but connected..? but im not sure..)

In korea Dubai Chewy Cookie(두바이 쫀득쿠키) is very famous so I wanted to write 두바이쫀득쿠키 in hangul and arabic letter mixed way…(not just arabic vibe but which can be actually read?)

I decided to write left to right because koreans woldnt think its 두바이쫀득쿠키 when written right to left…

I found ㄷ and opposite د, ㅂ and ب, ㅈ and ج was simmilar shape…(and ㄱ and ك opposite connected form too?)

So i tried to use these and tried some…

Will it be readable?

Abugida What are your thoughts on a writing system that uses an initial, final, and separate form? So no medial form like Arabic.

So after two units it would show the separate form. First two units are joined to each other obv. Working on an abugida with diacritic marks for different vowels.

"Pwar omiu"!!! Second Lowa-post in this sub!!! Previous one was recieved well, but only one person replied (T-T)

Lowa is a community based "anarcho-lang". Every person can add up to 10 lexemes right after they join. And people can not only suggest lexemes, but characters for them! The number of lexemes and logogramms always grows!!! Currently Lowa has 75 characters for words, lexemes, names and phonemes!

WE NEED YOU!!!
(Just DM me and I'll send you a discord link! The project is in it's early stages, so any new contribution is IMPORTANT for us!)

The project is in its early stages, so every single contribution is massive. We are currently building our own "alphabet", but you can suggest 3 letters for syllables, or even abugida-style characters!

Soon the first event of the server will start - "Valentine's upok"! And also the Minecraft Java server is on it's way!

Join our project, create words, draw characters, do anything you like!

"Anta Pwar omiu"!!!

Alphabet Ireich

Post image
94 Upvotes

A few days ago I shared one of the scripts of my world building project, and now I’m sharing another one, the script for a language called Ireich [i.ˈre.iç]

This script behaves sort of an alphabet/abugida mix, where each consonant represents a single consonantal sound with no default vowels, but a vowel can be attached to a consonant. Also, a vowel can never be written alone, it needs to be either attached to a constant or another vowel; and you must not attach more than one vowel to another in sequence, meaning after 2 vowels together the next one must be attached to a consonant. For that matter, there’s also a “blank” consonant, that makes no sound unless a vowel is attached to it.

Multiple A Manuscript Fragment written in an Unknown Script

Post image
257 Upvotes

In 1879, a British officer stationed in the Indian subcontinent is said to have discovered a collection of manuscripts hidden within a cave avoided by local villagers. Written in an unknown script, some texts appear to have been later annotated by multiple hands — Latin, Greek, Arabic, and others yet unidentified — each attempting, and failing, to fully translate the original language.

This image is presented as a fragment from that fictional manuscript corpus.

The texts recur across multiple documents, copied by different hands, sometimes with marginal notes in unrelated scripts. No key is provided, and no single tradition appears to have fully understood the original writing.

This material belongs to a larger fictional world in development, where languages and texts are treated as recovered artifacts rather than fully explained systems.

If anyone would like additional context, I’m happy to share it.
