I have a logographic language. Since it's not spoken, there's no "sound part", but there are some more or less arbitrary choices made as well as some almost entirely abstract words. I'd welcome you to look at it as a resource and inspiration. The URL is in my .sig. BTW, if anyone has noticed broken images on my site, I apologize; the sysadmins at my site reinstalled perl without telling me, which broke al my scripts. Everything seems to be fixed now, and I even added an automatic sentence parser to the online typewriter. -- Denis M Moskowitz Happy-Result-N-0 God-Quality-N-1 Human-End-R-1 dmm@cs.hmc.edu Human-Source-R-0P Rikchik-Agent-N-0 Talk-End-I-2 <a href="http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~dmm/dmm.html">My WWW page</a> <a href="http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~dmm/rikchik/intro.html">Rikchik Language</a>
