I think I was subconsciously influenced by Malayalam and maybe also Tamil. I do like both of them. I would like to do "proper" design of the scripts. What you see on the webpage, I drew with a calligraphy pen, scanned-in and vectorized. I think I'm also going to shrink the i and y so they don't ascend/descend.

I certainly do... I'm not sure how I'll use it. I don't want it to be an allophone of m/n as in english/italian, etc. (Canadians, correct me if I'm wrong, but does the labiodental nasal occur in "Banff"?

If you don't mind, I'll give it a try myself. I could make up alphabets all day! -- Theodore M. Kloba http://netjunk.com/users/conlang/
