Speaking of alphabets, are you ever going to elaborate on the Jippirasti Alphabet? When I first saw it "Arabic" immediately popped into my mind. It must be modeled, or at least inspired by the Arab alphabet, right? It looks very efficient. More interesting (and very mysterious) is the Eteod?ole alphabet (how do they write underwater?). Have you thought of anything for a base for the ilii language (if they even need one, by now)?

The Jippirasti alphabet is entirely worked out, but I don't really have time right now to put it into web form... also, it'd be nice to have a Tzhuro language to go with it!

The way it works, by the way, is much more influenced by Devanagari. I was most influenced by Arabic when I was working on the Verdurian cursive.

Eteod?ole percolates in my brain every once in awhile, but I'm still not ready to do justice to it. I don't want it to be like Klingon (or Kebreni), merely unusual to English speakers; I want it to be completely unearthly.

I've never heard of this Jippirasti alphabet. Where can I find info about it, it sounds interesting.

I like the Jippirasti alphabet too. Stuff like that makes me have the feeling that if I ever come up with something original, there's a good chance someone else would've thought of that before!

You can find the alphabet by going to the Historical Atlas and clicking on 1750c. Read the commentary below (you may have to enlarge your screen resolution if not already).

Looks interesting. Has Zomp put any info on it anywhere else? That reference is a little brief.

The alphabet is worked out, but it's not online. I should probably wait till I know more about the Lenani-Littoral languages.

That is one of my favorite alphabet among Almean ones. Waiting to have more info about it-- and on T :zh uro languages too

Wow.

Wow.

Poor Xephyr. LOL

[zompist]

Xephyr only had to wait 8 years. epdiii was the one who had to wait 9.5.

(Sadly, I forget if epdiii (or epdiv) made it over to this board.)

Jap, insofern sind Meme langweilig.
