Suppose I should throw my hat in the ring, too.

In Skerre (currently)
ensk=E4 i kir' =E4kandar dik ka.
language of you PRES-locate here itself.
(Those are a-umlauts corresponding to schwa, if your machine can't read
them.)

I'm like Dan in that I have invented script, but do not currently have a
font.  But speaking of my script, I'm currently re-vamping it and I have a
few questions.
1) If anyone knows, what type of language change (reconstructed, of course)
has gone on in Austronesian languages over the past five hundred years?
(Reason:  Many characteristics in my language are similar to Austronesian
langs and in my language's history writing was introducing about five
hundred years before "the present")
2) Any ideas on whether peoples without the benefit of "consonantal"
languages like the Semitic langs would ever invent alphabets?
3) Would people use a syllabary with a language that has many consonant
clusters?

Thanks,
Doug
