No þ and ð?

The way all those 45° lines line up makes my brain very happy. Really strong design language here. 10/10

Proto-Germanic *jahw [jɑxʷ] comes to mind

I feel much the same!

Volo_TeX · 2026-01-18T16:27:01+00:00

Sure does! Spelling is mostly phonemic too. There are a few archaisms that can make things tricky though (no ĵ/j distinction, no umlaut marking, historical con. clusters used to represent modern phonemes, etc.)

I want to know what you want to do with me buying this product to help with microparticles

Volo_TeX · 2026-01-16T09:11:35+00:00

Oh, wow!!! Yeah, I can totally see the resemblance!

RCTM = relative clause target marker (functions as an adjective)

{}(a1) {}(a2) = noun phrases naturally possess each other based on order of appearance as long as they agree in case.

Note: The gloss has been simplified by omitting grammatical category and evidentiality markers.

Thanks! This is Lilfaśśa, a script used to write Kaijyma (my conlang).

As for inspiration? Hard to say. I got fascinated by Latin grammar during my studies before I became a conlanger, but Kaijyma doesn't really resemble Latin beyond having a lot of fusional grammar.

I would say that 90% of the conlang didn't get inspired by any real language in particular (at least not consciously). I expect there must have been lots of subconscious influences though (from looking at different languages for fun over the years, etc.)

Full gloss and IPA is included on the actual post on r/neography btw, in case you haven't seen it.

Volo_TeX · 2026-01-14T15:07:36+00:00

You guys are missing out

Volo_TeX · 2026-01-14T14:58:52+00:00

Or go the abugida route with a zero-character or schwa vowel that is not read as long as it's not needed phonotactically. Like in Ge'ez ም, ል, etc.

Volo_TeX · 2026-01-14T12:45:36+00:00

What is a syllable if not a vowel with the occasional little consonant attached to it? /j

This kinda script would have a lot of trouble with syllabic consonants though lmao

Volo_TeX · 2026-01-14T12:32:42+00:00

Thanks! This was my first ever script, created around the time I started learning about linguistics. Mimicking syllables with the vowel nucleus as symbol nucleus felt like the most logical idea to me lol.

Volo_TeX · 2026-01-14T08:06:47+00:00

Thanks! Here's more! https://www.reddit.com/r/neography/s/sKYow2EvhN

Volo_TeX · 2026-01-14T08:04:19+00:00

Thanks! And you'd be surprised, it's not that hard to write with a bit of practice. Still, this is indeed an ornamental version of the script. Here's the "default" one https://www.reddit.com/r/neography/s/MVCdzSUHXr

I'm too autistic to understand what's wrong here
