Narbonósc also uses the typical Latin cursive, but with a few variations from the standard. For instance, the <s> is written like in old written texts, as a long s-shaped vertical line (like an integral sign). The <f> is identical, but with a horizontal stroke to differ (some handwritings make it very difficult to make them distinct :) ). Also, letters like <d>, <t> or <l>, which when they are written finish with a vertical downstroke, tend to go below the writing line (so the <d> looks like the "tailed d" of the IPA alphabet). The rest is rather standard, with all the variations we're used to see. Connected script is the norm for cursive. Christophe. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr
