Description
A key for transliterating from the latin alphabet into my conlang's script. It is a syllabic alphabet, with several diacritics that are attached to the base letters. It's really pretty when done right, and it took me forever to make each letterform in illustrator, so I hope you enjoy. Maybe I'll make a font of it if I can find good, free font software. Any suggestions?Oh, and the thing down the side is in gibberish. It used to mean something before I revamped the language.

Looks really neat. To my eyes, it has a "what if a Brahmic language and script had migrated to Europe" vibe to it

The / between "ru" and "tho" belongs to which? ... the "ru" or the "tho"?

This is really pretty, and very neat looking :3
If it was a bit more straight and angular it would look similar to what I am currently making. This is the only time I've ever seen any conlang that looks anywhere similar to mine.
This inspired me to keep working!

Thank you so much! It really makes my day to know that this inspired you some! Maybe I could see your script when you're done?

It's changed a little, maybe. I'm still trying to find the right style for it. But it might take a while, as I have a bunch of fictional things I work on at the same time >_<. But I'll totally like to show you when I get something worthy of showing. ^_^.

Sounds awesome! Are the fictional things related to the script?

Yeeeees :3 lol. Aliens, basically. I would like to write some really epic space opera one day, with the history and scope of Tokien's universe. Tolkien, Lucas, Roddenbury, Alan Dean Foster, David Gerrold, all of those guys are like heroes to me and a huge inspiration. I want to make a universe of my own... Really bad. It's my one big dream, haha.

I have a little question.

Hey! Thanks for commenting. Sorry it takes me so long to check these things--but I have not actually turned this script into a font. There don't really seem to be any good free programs to do it in, plus there are a lot of kerning issues with the diacritics. I basically just modeled the letters in Adobe Illustrator to make this chart, and I use those models to write what I need to in Illustrator.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for replying - no matter for doing it so late. I have much to do, too.
This actually inspires me to do so with my letters. It's a good idea.

Looks nice. It would be great to have some more examples.

Thanks. I'm going to try to finalize a version of article one of the universal dec. of human rights in the conlang, so I might upload that to show how it looks. I'm glad you like it!
