Coptic is the script used to write Standard Tech, the official language of
Techia in the West Indies.  It is a modernized, two-case full alphabet which
is of course Greek-based.  A lot of wild conventions (many of which I still
haven't decided on) are necessary due to the language's large consonant
inventory.  Local dialects, however, are variously written in Ge'ez (also
the liturgical script of the Ethio-Techian Orthodox and Catholic Churches),
Arabic and Latin script.  (The last two are also used for Tech Creole, which
is infused with a lot of Arabic, English and French.)

Since I've only now perfected (more or less) the phonology, I got a ton of
work to do on the alphabet.  I'm also waiting for a publication of a
Nostratic lexicon.  (The language is officially an isolate, but has been
connected to Afro-Asiatic and may be a descendant of the theoretical
Nostratic macrofamily.)
