Well, this is the place to discuss the linguistic sides of language, not advocate use of new languages. As long as you can stick to that, no problem.

The script is slow to write with all those dots, and many of the dot-vowels will become swooshes in use. Furthermore, it is easy to put the dots on the wrong letter (just think of where the dot on the i might end up in handwriting!) so there will be lots of misunderstandings and unneccessary ambiguity. Basically I think the script needs more work. t.
