conlangin’: made some logograms for a “capsule concept inventory”; picked a phoneme set and gave it a phonemic writing system; mapped the concept inventory to a phonetically-valid capsule vocabulary & tested out the orthography with it

no idea if this is a typical order to do things, but it’s been clicking for my brain

#conlang #conscript

I said last week that I would begin work on a more hangul/Phagsgul-type script based on the graphics I saw at a Sparks concert; here's what I've come up with so far #neography #conscript.

This is still true 457 days later into Putin's War on Ukraine.

Putin's idea of "brotherly love"

Thank you.

An if anyone wants to witness and gain inspiration of how a conscript develops in ~real time, you should watch @bbbourq's presentation:

Martin objected to #coldwar military service on religious grounds. To get official “conscientious objector” status you had to pass multiple military courts and military procedures which was especially challenging for a 17 year old. https://pod.fo/e/16bb57 @histodons #conscript #nederand #holland #Netherlands #military

Still have some mixed feelings about the new Willow series (having spent much of my youth watching the film over and over)... but either way, it's got some nice #conlang / #conscript stuff going on.

Mostly so far I'm loving Boorman, and Christian Slater in the last episode.

WW1 + #survivalhorror = #CONSCRIPT

After 5 years of development, It's surreal that I get to travel to #Gamescom2022 to showcase my work.

I'm at Hall 3.2, Stand C010 - D019 in the biz area.

Here's the updated N'tòsi #conlang script that shows how to write its syllables and tones!

I really like the idea of it, but its practicality is perhaps questionable. It's pretty sterile right now, so it may change if/as I end up actually using it in order to reflect more comfortable usage.

I just discovered Glyphr today, which is a free online font maker with what appears to be a nice, easy-to-use inteface for making fonts! My only experience for making fonts is FontForge, so having a nicer interface is very welcome!

https://www.glyphrstudio.com

I'm excited to figure out how to use this for making #conscript fonts for my #conlangs!

#glossopoeia #conlanging

Aaaand I've started working on it here:

https://lexicon.ga/537

I'm probably gonna model it after toki pona, as in, it's tiny but usable for basic communication. But actually filling out the vocabulary of a #conlang is always the hardest part for me to finish...

#glossopoeia #conlanging #conscript

I had a new idea for a new #conlang. Only /a/ in the vowels and /p b t d k g ʔ m n s ʃ l/ in the consonants with a nice, flowing script.

It's called Badagabada (BDGBD), meaning roughly "words of words".

I mainly just want to have a flowing script for a change because I'm tired of all of my old rune-styled ones...

#glossopoeia #conlanging #conscript

Here's my normal translation process with the #conscript I came up with for my #conlang, Gobahai! I start with a sentence, simplify it, find more easily-translatable equivalent words, transcribe it, and then write the script!

The sentiment of the sentence is very true. I /could/ use that syntax test sentence list I posted earlier, but... that feels like work!

#conlanging #glossopoeia

I'm working on simplifying how Gobahai's syllabary is generated by taking a vague and incomplete understanding of the Korean writing system and applying it to characters that build syllables instead of creating characters for each and every possible syllable!

This will make it much easier to read while still looking interesting!

I just uploaded new features and bug fixes for #Lexiconga (https://lexicon.ga)! There's custom alphabetical order, custom CSS, and more!

Check out the release notes for all the details:
https://github.com/Alamantus/Lexiconga/releases/tag/new-features-wave-1

(Hey, custom CSS means you can use #conscript fonts in your dictionary! Check this blog post to learn how to set it up: https://blog.lexicon.ga/post/186302976725/how-to-use-custom-fonts-on-lexiconga)

#conlanging #glossopoeia #constructedLangauge #dictionaries #tools

I updated my N'tòsi #conlang's #conscript to make a little more sense when writing, starting from the left and swinging up to write the vowel, then adding the remaining decorators. The little grid shows the placement of the pieces and the example in the grid shows the "stroke order".

I also realized all except 1 of the phonemes (/m/) kept the lips apart, so I replaced it with (/x/) so the lips never have to touch! I might change it back later, but I like it right now.

#glossopoeia #conlanging

I started working on a #conscript for my N'tòsi #conlang! It's hard to really see because this little notebook I have has lines that are too dark, but I like the simplicity and the fact that you can build any syllable you need rather than needing to memorize separate characters for each syllable.

Now I just need to build the lexicon so I can have stuff to write!
