# I was thinking about making a series of little comics about a guy who finds himself in a world he can't comprehend.

Still seeking my Rosetta Stone, though..

# use it all you like,
I'm not doing anything with it.

It's not a language though, it's just a writing system. Which isn't much use without a language to write in it.

I'm inventing a language as well, mind, although not for this writing system. It has only verbs.

# I just drew some pretty shapes and made them equal english letters.
Moon girl actually thought about sounds and logical progression and shit.

# I've got one on paper
that's almost readable. I should do it neat some time.

I've been intrigued by the idea of using vowel markers on consonants instead of separate characters since I started reading about Hebrew. This latest one is kind of a weird hybrid, because the vowels can either stand alone or merge into the preceding consonant.

# You specified th and gh and sh, but only gave 5 vowel sounds. O could have been "owe" or "ohu" or "oh", so DOUBLE o could have been anything.

# Wha?



XD
(I helped save b3ta! Captain Howdy, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 21:38, archived)
# yeah a double U would make more sense I guess,
but the consonants are always more important. You can afford to take a few liberties with vowel combinations.
