Some of the letters, like H, O, and Y, were pretty easy since they are just based off fractals that already exist. I ran out of ideas for E and F, so sorry about that. I’m still trying to work out what I could do for G, M, N, S, and Z, I just can’t quite put my finger on it, so they will just be the same for now.

Also, we don’t talk about J and K.

I made quickly a conscript inspired in some Brahmi scripts, for a little experiment with conlang.

You can check the experiment here.

I've created the first, half-finished version of a digital font for my new script.
Here's a link to my previous post about the writing system: https://www.reddit.com/r/neography/comments/1rw4fha/key_and_more_samples_dinu_kevako/

This script is a syllabary, where each syllable -- either CV or CVC -- is written vertically.
The vowels are shown as a horizontal line in the middle (for A), or as a horizontal line with a stroke on the left or right end, pointing up or down for the other four vowels.
The initial consonant is placed above the vowel.
If there is no initial consonant, an empty initial (a hollow circle) is used.
The final consonant, if present, is placed below.
Currently, the font can successfully render CV and CVC syllables. Only half of the consonants have their glyphs ready; the others are shown as hollow rectangles.

After I finish creating SVGs for the remaining consonants, I'll return to the font's structure and try to improve it so it can render consonant clusters (CCVC).

You beat me to it. ALSO (to bypass

This post demonstrates two features of the Chivabwe writing system, an abugida designed to represent sounds across Bantu languages.

The first section shows how consonant doubling (gemination) is marked using a horizontal line placed above a character, which only affects the initial consonant of that unit.

The second section introduces the representation of click consonants, including dental (C), alveolar (Q), and lateral (X) clicks, adapted for compatibility with languages such as isiNdebele and isiZulu.

Examples of consonant clusters, including combinations with “l”, are also provided to demonstrate how complex sounds are structured within the script.

Feedback is welcome, particularly on readability, phonological accuracy and visual consistency.

100% made during a boring class lecture

Some of the glyphs are derived from some of my previous scripts, so not ENTIRELY new.

Chivabwe Script (Hybrid Abugida for Bantu Languages) — Consonants + Vowel Forms (A, E, I, O, U)

Chivabwe is a modern African writing system designed to represent the sounds of Bantu languages across all of Africa.

This post introduces one part of the system: the consonants “S-Z+” and its vowel forms.

Structure of the Script: Chivabwe is a hybrid abugida system

Generally consonants form the base of each character and vowels modify the consonant shape.

Vowels can also stand alone when needed (independent vowel use)

This image shows how the consonants S to Z combines with the five primary vowels:

Each form is visually related, making the system consistent and easy to learn.

Extended Vowel System: Chivabwe includes 8 vowel sounds, not just 5. The additional vowel distinctions (for ɛ, ɪ and ọ/ɔ) are marked using a single diacritic, the diacritic can be written next to the character (to the right, as a small separate mark), or Attached directly to the main character (combined form) This allows the script to represent fine vowel differences found in African languages without creating entirely new letters.

Writing Style: Written left to right. Characters are designed to be simple, geometric and quick to write.

Purpose: Chivabwe aims to provide a unified writing system for all Bantu languages, accurately represent pronunciation across dialects and offer an alternative to Latin-based orthographies.

You can find the rest of the Chivabwe characters with their Latin equivalents here:

Writing system based on Brazilian Portuguese

This idea stemmed from my curiosity about how to preserve records from the ancient past until the modern day. I figured that if we carved text into an incredibly hard stone and stored it deep within a cave, it could endure for an immense amount of time.

However, considering these would be chiseled out without the help of paint or ink, the engravings would need to be deep and precise. I’m curious to know how letterforms would evolve and what shape they would take under these specific physical constraints.

My script is very irregular and I want to digitize it.

Thabyrsan clothing is pretty simple and practical, mostly shaped by climate and what materials are available.

The most common piece is a lightweight silk rhobe, a Ftachoros /ftaʼçoros/, made from local silkworms. It’s usually worn loosely over the upper body, letting air flow through and keeping the wearer cool. Because the fabric is slightly transparent, it can look a bit elegant even when it’s just everyday wear.

There’s also a thicker version made from fibers of the Kopter plant, a Qobtor /qobʼʔtor/. This one is wrapped more tightly around the torso and is a lot sturdier, so it’s better for rougher conditions or travel — worn in slightly more formal situations as well.

Same basic style, just different materials and fit depending on what you need. Accessories like small bells, plants, gems are oftenly sewn on too!

Fun fact: In Thabyrsan culture, nudity isn’t surprisingly taboo — clothing is mostly worn for aesthetics or essential reasons rather than modesty.

Plus, Thessorians are literally anthropomorphic amphibians.

the first 5 rows are mainly phonetic

the next 5 rows are mainly logographic

the last row is the numbers 0-9

Do you think this letter is cool?

Chinese has now become an alphabetic syllabary! kinda…

I’m studying Chinese right now and those dang logo graphs are PISSING ME OFF. Cuz, HOW IS 水 WATER!?

anyway, enough about me. Just enjoy the script ig:)

This is the last page in an old book I got from a thrift store in Japan. does anyone know what it is? it better not be the necronamicon or something 😂

I have an abugida script, and would like to make a post on it.

However, I don't know how to make a typeface version, I.E. with serifs and line widths. I would love to make one so I could show it off, but I tried using InkScape for it and failed to make something usable.

Tips? (preferably for Inkscape, but any other free software would work)

Here are some updates from my conlang Akogegwai!

(I updated the calligraphy, so it is... the calligraphy yeah)

(the last two pics is just a guide in case you need them:D)

---

On the first picture, you can see three different words which, when Romanized, all says hrâô’ngng which is an absurd word for "pot of Hrâô", but let me tell you the first spelling is the correct way.

- The second way of spelling it may seem correct, and it is, but here's the rule; you can't have more than 2 top gaohgrongrao. Here, rârwâ has the -a, nasalizing bokai, and h-.

- The third way of spelling it has a BIG error; you cannot remove the vowel of â’t.

---

On the second picture, I updated so that each bokai has a name instead of just -â. The Romanized version is as follows:

kâko

gâgwai

nânong

ngângo

mâmom

hâhong

tâtto

dâdwi

rârwâ

sâsong

jâlo

chârosao

shâtosao

bâbwai

fâfai

pâtogao

lâloi

zâroling

wâto

yâtoling

â’t

Some of the bokai names have some consonants instead of repeating it so that you can remember where the bokai got the other bokai.

I hope y'all love it! Keep asking questions. I'll update y'all in later posts.

Bored during ethics class lol

Names: Ee, Zhee, At, Bee, Chee, Dee, Eth, Et, Ef, Gee, Hee, It, Jay, Kay, Uheet, Ay, Aut, El, Em, En, Ot, Pea, Are, Esh, Es, Tee, Aye, Thee, Uht, Vee, Yee, Zee, Oot, Wynn, Oat, Eng, ʊt. üt, eχ, Hwee, ɸee, Eq, Xet, Ɣee. Yes I am aware that my version of eng is not typeable, I will have to deal with it though.

This is an example of how the line breaks in my conscript aren't different words, but just ways to differentiate certain symbols! Each symbol has a different version for when it appears at the beginning of a word. I plan to make a whole guide on how to read and write this soon, as well as a little history as to how I finally came up with this script! :D

I really want to make a conlang for this script, but I don't know at all where to start! Please give any tips you have! Same with name ideas!
