So, recently I’ve been working on a phonetic script for Vinshan. It originally only had a logographic system, but I decided to change it and do sort of what Japanese does. The phonetic system is for everyday use, and has a formal and informal script. (The p is blank for informal, I know. I have to figure something out for that one still). The logographic system is for those well educated and of the royal family. The phonetic system is based on the logographic system, but the logographic system can have sentences as short as one character. All the characters in the phonetic system are also used in the logographic system, but they have very different meanings. (See the ‘boxy’ character almost above the n in Vinshan. That’s the character set for the logographic system. The set next to it is phonetic.)So I just felt like sharing. Vinshan and Treyll were combined to create 3rro, so they do have some characters in common. (Oh, conworlding….)Vinshan is meant to look very ‘boxy’, even though most of the characters are curvy. The informal characters are quicker to write, but since the vowels are only formal, the difference in time is minimal, but the difference in effort is a little greater. All but one of the informal characters are written in one stroke. It’s generally written in a sort of pencil made in my conworld, but they can use a brush and ink.

I started actually making Treyll at 15, but codes and such since elementary school.

Treyll culture - Death

In Treyll culture, they’re buried either directly in front of/ beside/ under a type of tree native to their island, or they’re buried and a sapling (of the same type) is planted over the grave. 
The graves are unmarked, but since that tree is only seen where someone is buried, they know that someone was buried there and sometimes leave little offerings to the animals that may inhabit the tree, generally fruit.
They believe that the animals take care of the tree, because without animals, many of their plants wouldn’t exist (at least at such a large number).

I’ve been working a little on Vinshan recently. I’ve decided to change a big part of it, so I’m very glad I hadn’t done much work on it before.

For example, the word ‘vinshan’ used to be two words, vi an and nsh. Vi an was an adjective, and nsh a noun. However, I’ve decided that words will be formed differently, and be more like vin and sha, where the last letter of the adjective is repeated at the end of the word. 
The characters for the logographic script for this language are boxlike, with the adjective/adverb being the outside character, surrounding the inside character (the noun or verb). I thought that fit nicely.

I’ve decided, though, to include a phonological script as well.

In other news, i’ve been working a LOT on Treyll conculture, as well as the conworld. It includes Treyll, 3rro, Vinshan, and maybe Porfa, Tuka, or Koalia. 

It’s going really well. I’ve been thinking about writing stores for the conworld, and I probably will if I can organize my thoughts well enough.

do you ever get weirded out by the fact that everyone around you is constantly within their own mind and thinking a million secret thoughts and battling internal struggles just like you and that you’re not the only one who thinks these things and that the people around you aren’t just faces meant to fill up your life but they’re actually really deep people who have a lot more to them than you ever actually even think about

I need to make a word for this. Maybe more than one.

Worldbuilders Unite! a poem

decemberkat:

We had no words to describe our world

so we made a language of our own.

We had no way to show others what we saw

so we drew a map of our world.

We did not agree with our society’s values

so we made a culture to suit our needs.

We built a world from scratch

so we could live as we truly wanted.

Hmmm how about thematic days for conlanging topics?

Monday - Fun Day: do whatever strikes your fancy

Tuesday - New Day: new stuff, new words, new features

Wednesday - Words Day: tons of vocabulary

Thursday - Verbs Day: a day of verbs and tenses and moods

Friday - Weirdo Day: the strange and the poetic

Saturday - Grammar Day: discussing and researching grammatical features

Sunday - Reading Day: do a recording of a reading in a conlang

I was looking at my reference page for both the Treyll and 3rro conscripts I made, and I realized several things I needed to change. 3rro had no punctuation, Treyll was missing one and one was incorrect (also punctuation). Also, I’ve been working on a script for Porfa recently, so that’s there now. It’s not done, of course, and I’m going to continue working on it, but I feel good knowing all 3 fit onto one page. Strange how they all look so similar. I like curvy scripts, I suppose! :)The one other script I have, for Vinshan, is logographic and I haven’t worked on it in a while, so that’s not there. It’s not nearly as curvy, but I still think it’s nice. Good to have some variation.Most of my scripts have ‘extra’ characters, ones not in the language. They’re used for just transliterating other languages and for writing in English, or even another conlang I may make in the future. (Nice to have it all figured out before I need it!)Anyway… there’s my complete Treyll and 3rro scripts, and all that I’ve done so far of Porfa. I haven’t shared much in a while so I thought I should.
