Re: New Script

I was thinking about writing systems, and came up with what is probably
not real original, but I really havent seen much like it. Ogham is
similar, but I find it extremely ugly (sorry, but the characters are
toomuch like eachother for my taste). Like ogham, the glyphs are attached
to a line. The consonants go above the line and the vowels below
(horizontally at least, the image in the link i'm going to give will show
how they are placed when the base line is vertical or diagonal).

Each sentence uses a "continuous" line, and the beginning is marked by a
circle with a small semi-circle on the inside. The end is marked with a
circle with a vertical line in the center. Between connected words, a
circle with a single dot is used. If in the middle od a sentence a word
branches off from the main line, the word is ended with a solid black dot.
Typically, you start at the beginning and follow the sentence around.

Sentences can go in any direction (however, the first word always starts
out horizontally) . All words are read left to right (so no
boustrophedon). This script is purely for aesthetics, there doesnt have to
be sense in how sentences are written (it looks to me sort of like
circuitry). So, it's an artscript :).


The image in the link i'm providing below is the sentence "I want to know
where you are going today". Written somewhat phonetically: /aj want tu no
wer yu ar goiN tudej/. It's not written to accurately represent how I say
the words. It's only as an example as to how the script looks when written
out:
