Congrats on making it into the Sacred Hall of Scripts.
Re: Tloko Logoglyphs: Update - new morpho symbols
My congratulations, too!
Re: Tloko Logoglyphs
2016 will be the year of the glyph for Kala.
My goal is to have 500 logograms by the end of 2016. 600 if circumstances permit.
Stay tuned.

Re: Tloko Logoglyphs
As of right now, there are 175-ish defined glyphs, listed here:
http://i.imgur.com/qmeswXQ.png | http://i.imgur.com/iQOIajo.png | and http://i.imgur.com/GjwbvA7.png
I've devised a "radical" scheme that I like, so, I will have two ways of displaying the glyphs, 1st listed in "pataka" (alphabetical) order, then by glyph radicals.
Subject to change, these are the radicals, along with variations:
Basically, if the glyph is dominated (i.e. takes up the majority of the nine points) by a radical listed, it belongs to that radical.
Updates to follow.

Re: Tloko Logoglyphs
I’ve created a gallery for the Tloko glyphs, here. This gallery is in pataka (alphabetical) order. I will add another gallery in the coming days that will be ordered by glyph radical (to be explained). Each of these will be updated weekly (circumstances permitting).

Neat.

So, I've been dabbling with the logoglyphs in the "handwritten" form, and I'm disappointed in most of them. I think that the "handwritten" will need to remain solely syllabic in use, with very few exceptions.

aiigghhh! I hate it when someone posts a link to imgur! It's been three hours since I clicked the link in the previous post! I have kittens dribbling from my ears! aiiigghhh!
Great script, man!

Re: Tloko Logoglyphs
The basic principles for (hand)writing Omyatloko are simple, namely that writing characters should be economical, with the fewest hand movements to write the most strokes possible. This promotes writing speed, accuracy, and readability. This idea is particularly important since as learners progress, characters often get more complex. Since stroke order also aids learning and memorization.
General Guidelines:
Write from top to bottom, and left to right.
Horizontal before vertical.
Outside before center (unless otherwise indicated).
Enclosures before exteriors.
Dots and minor strokes last.
A few examples:
Because each glyph uses all nine points in a 3x3 grid, each point is named to define and explain stroke order
In these examples you can see that each point is not pronounced or listed as it may not be a juncture or stopping point for the brush. However, each point is covered by the brushstroke. A colon ":" marks a raise of the pen/brush.

Re: Tloko Logoglyphs
For a writing system, style is the main attraction ... a good calligrapher would give the exchange to the worst realization ...

Re: Tloko Logoglyphs
Given the "horizontal before vertical" rule, wouldn't anya be written pa-ko : pa-ua rather than the reverse?
I generally forget to say, so if it's relevant and I don't mention it--I'm from Southern Michigan and speak Inland North American English. Yes, I have the Northern Cities Vowel Shift; no, I don't have the cot-caught merger; and it is called pop.

What's disappointed you about the handwritten form?

Yes, good eye, that was a typo in the image. Thank you.alynnidalar wrote:Given the "horizontal before vertical" rule, wouldn't anya be written pa-ko : pa-ua rather than the reverse?
Well, that was a while ago that I posted that, but it just sorta looked disjointed to me, but after coming-up with the method that I recently posted, I'm much more satisfied with it.kusuri wrote:What's disappointed you about the handwritten form?

Just wondering if this is too over-the-top? Or dumb?
to have these glyphs be so similar?

Re: Tloko Logoglyphs
I don't really see why it should be. A lot of Chinese characters are very similar, too...
Re: Tloko Logoglyphs
I would say moreso than these examples too, from my limited knowledge of Chinese characters.Vijay wrote:I don't really see why it should be. A lot of Chinese characters are very similar, too...

I mean, this means 'person': 人
This means 'enter': 入
And this means 'big': 大
Re: Tloko Logoglyphs
You make a valid point.Vijay wrote:I don't really see why it should be. A lot of Chinese characters are very similar, too...
Well, 人 and 大 are related symbols, semiotically speaking, so, yeah, but I get your point.Vijay wrote:I mean, this means 'person': 人

I plan to post more glyphs as I continue to develop this script. I appreciate the feedback you all have provided.
