I WILL RIP OUT YOUR INHERENT VOWEL UNTIL YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A UNPRONOUNCEABLE SCRIBBLE ON A PIECE OF PAPER, YOU SICK FUCK

Some of my fan art has featured these funky little symbols.

That’s my abugida! And seeing as the first semi is coming up and I’m a huge KAJ fan I decided to write Bara Bada Bastu in it (or most of it. I cut out the parts that were just repeating)!

I realise the symbols for “e” and “u” look a little similar when the text is this small… eh, it’s fine. I’m not going to explain myself.

Today I reworked my Akkta-tą́ font, and re-did the diacritics, which I felt were off. I'm really happy with how they came out :)))

on the left is the old version, and on the right the new re-worked one

these two first images show the paradigm of the verb sükngü "dig":

sükngü 1SG.ACT [sʰɯ́k.ŋɯ]

sọngdö 2.ACT [sʰôŋ.dɤ]

söng 1PL/3.ACT [sʰʌ́ŋ]

sọng 1PL/3.PASS [sʰóŋ]

sukngö 1SG.PASS [sʰúk.ŋɯ]

sungdü 2.PASS [sʰûŋ.dɯ]

These show the paradigm of the verb sikkü "grow (of plants)"

sikkį 1SG.ACT [sʰik.kʰĩ́]

sikkot 2.ACT [sʰik.kʰɔ́t]

sikkü 1PL/3.ACT [sʰík.kʰɯ]

sikkü 1PL/3.PASS [sʰík.kʰɯ]

sikkų 1SG.PASS [sʰik.kʰṹ]

sikkọt 2.PASS [sʰik.kʰót]

I especially like how the S and X serieses came out, and specifically <Xe> and <Xi> like look at this combined diacritic!!!

as opposed to the old form -

UGHH i love it.

now i just have to figure out how to actually use that font because my current documentation is on google docx which afaik doesn't support custom fonts, and microsoft word which does support them doesn't really work on my computer atm.

GD Humanized but i shrinked them

(only contains a handful of my guys because. i ran out of my guys by the time i had the style properly figured out)

Example of Tibetan spelling and grammar.

རྒྱལ་པོ་དེ་ལ་སྲས་གསུམ་མངའ་སྟེ། rgyal po de la sras gsum mŋa' ste.

Each syllable is separated by a dot (ཚེག tsheg). A word can be made up of more than one syllable (like རྒྱལ་པོ་ rgyal po, king) while a syllable can be made up of more than one letter.

Only the root letter has a vowel, like in the word གསུམ gsum (three) where only ས has a vowel (u written underneath), while ག and མ represent consonants only.

Learning Thai ,,, there are 43 consonants, more than 20 vowels, 5 tones plus plus plus. One page of perhaps 200 in my exercise book which is written out in tandem with what goes up on a whiteboard. One student in my class had learned Mandarin and commented that she found Thai more difficult. There is what could be a Doctoral Thesis on The Thai Abugida here: Thai script - Wikipedia

[silly-wizard]

BWoRM LOOKS DIFFERENT NOW

can't believe I forgot to mention that

[wobblydev]

the abugida is coming along nicely. this is the primary religious text for the cats of Lak and Ganzang, written in mutually intelligible Lakgzang.

[nthlifesbiggestfan]

abugida is always dying 😭😭
