I don't have a sample of my script yet (I have yet to actually come up with a character set *frowns*) but I do have a sample of Hangul that kind of helps show my point: [ http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_4645242/han-kuk-o.gif?bcJnML8AHlo3kDyP ]. In my language, it would look more like this: [ http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_4645242/han-kuk-o-2.gif?bcJnML8Ah57Lu7.R ] (Note: the second sample is still in Hangul. It is a hypothetical example.) Anyway, I hope this helps. -- Hiro2K P.S. In answer to the question "Why Japanese and Korean?", there are 2 reasons: 1) the culture I'm making the language for resembles a medieval version of Japanese and Korean cultures, and 2) Japanese and Korean are the only languages outside of English that I am really familiar with. *grins and chuckles dopishly* __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
