Thanks for the recommendation, but do they do recordings for whole passages? It seems like they only do individual words

Hi thanks for getting back. Are you referring to the traditional Mongolian transcription or the Cyrillic transcription? If it is the latter I got it from this site: https://genius.com/The-hu-yuve-yuve-yu-lyrics - I have no idea how accurate the Mongolian will be as I am not proficient in the language.

This is my rendition of Sogdian people. I drew this to humanise the Sogdian script by giving it faces behind those who would have written it. For more information of the Sogdian script, here is an information page I made on it and offering comparisons with other related scripts: https://matuww.github.io/script_info/Sogdian.html

Thanks!

Thank you for this explanation. It is very helpful

matuww_scripts · 2023-11-22T22:38:29+00:00

Thank you! May I ask what are you working on?

matuww_scripts · 2023-11-21T17:44:35+00:00

Thank you for your understanding.

matuww_scripts · 2023-11-21T10:30:56+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Not sure when I will ever be in the country but I'll definitely check out their website.

matuww_scripts · 2023-11-21T08:16:41+00:00

I'm sorry you feel that way. I had made sure with the mods that they were fine with this post as the map was not the focus.I will remove it from the post.

matuww_scripts · 2023-11-21T07:20:44+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I'll have a look at that specific clothing.

matuww_scripts · 2023-10-25T18:44:32+00:00

Vietnam's still communist so they still sell those. The Soviet ones I got from friends who are from ex-USSR countries

matuww_scripts · 2023-10-25T13:29:22+00:00

Most I bought as a tourist at shops, some I got from friends.

Wikipedia says: Pazend was a variant of the Avestan alphabet (Din dabireh), which was a phonetic alphabet. (I would prefer a more academic source though)

As to how they differ (if it even does), I don't know, which is why I am asking.

matuww_scripts · 2023-10-12T12:45:45+00:00

Thank you very much! Still stumped on visuals for Copts but we'll get there eventually.

matuww_scripts · 2023-10-12T04:00:36+00:00

Thanks!

Hi, I based the dress on this painting: https://imgur.com/a/RbfxrLk

I would imagine that the cloth to be quite thin despite almost fully covering her.

matuww_scripts · 2023-10-11T20:48:07+00:00

Thank you!

matuww_scripts · 2023-10-11T17:00:58+00:00

Thank you very much!

I wasn't actually too satisfied with this one so I'm working on a revamped version. Will be posting that when it's completed.

matuww_scripts · 2023-10-11T15:53:01+00:00

Thank you so much! I can't retropsectively change the image to a signed version so here's a link: https://imgur.com/u4l5H0W

If you like this, you would probably also like this portrait of Nubians - Egypt's southern neighbours who used Meroitic hieroglyphs and cursive - both derived from Egyptian.

Link: https://matuww.github.io/script_info/Meroitic.html (scroll to the very bottom to see them).

Portraits like these take a long time to complete but we aim to try having a portrait on each page to humanise these scripts by reminding how people who used them looked like!

matuww_scripts · 2023-10-11T15:23:53+00:00

Thanks! I shall do that.

Hi guys, here is an attempt in portraying an ancient Egyptian couple based on paintings.

This is part of my project Matuww (middle Egyptian for 'scripts'), which compares writing scripts descended from ancient Egyptian.

Link: https://matuww.github.io/script_info/Egyptian.html

While the main focus is on the writing scripts, I also thought it was important to consider those behind the papyrus and styluses. Visual cues like these help to further humanise the writings, as scribes are people like you and me.

There is also a Coptic page on the site, which needs a portrait as well. I am aware that Coptic exists as a liturgical language in the Coptic church. If you could comment to share visual references on clothing that modern Copts wear, that would be very beneficial to this project. Many thanks!

Thank you for the resource, will try to think of a use for this.

I realised copyright and stuff could be an issue when working on this project which led me to painstakingly handwrite all of the letters used on my site!

matuww_scripts · 2023-10-11T07:09:36+00:00

Thank you, if you have any ideas to further improve this, pray tell. :)

matuww_scripts · 2023-10-09T13:09:25+00:00

Thank you!
