Using cyrillic would be interesting. Not many conlangs use cyrillic.=20 I'm not saying that the other transcriptions are 'uglier' or less=20 interesting. Indeed the Rokbeigalmki (sp?) ziifer (sp?) script is quite=20 interesting by iteself. I'm just saying that cyrillic would be=20 interesting too. It would give it, seen from a western point of view, a=20 'semi-exotic' feel to it - if its possible to use that term. One would=20 then think, 'hmmm... probably an exotic minority language from the=20 former Soviet Union', even though Rokbeigalmki probably isn't a=20 minority Russian language if my memory serves me correctly. -kristian- 8)
