🐲 The #ChineseLanguage and its #writingsystem ✍️ represent one of the most enduring and unique linguistic traditions in human history. Rooted in the Sino-Tibetan language family, #Chinese evolved in a completely different cultural and historical context compared to the #IndoEuropeanlanguages. In this post, we briefly explore its origins and development and its linguistic characteristics and significance:
-
“Over the millennia, human language has produced a variety of beautiful, unusual, and weird forms of writing. Here are 7 of them.”

I was looking at these posters from the Gutenberg museum as a way to introduce my curious daughter (age 9) to the world's writing systems.
https://www.worldswritingsystems.org/poster.html
However, I wondered if anyone on here knows of any other (age-appropriate) resources in book (prreferred) or poster form that I should consider?
Boosts appreciated.

https://lingule.xyz/Only needed Omniglot here.
It wasn't immediately obvious whether this was an alphabet (one symbol per sound) or an abugida (one symbol per consonant + vowel diacritics). But it had the character of a script from India, so I browsed thru Omniglot's list of abugidas https://omniglot.com/writing/abugidas.htm until I found a match.
Luckily, this script is only used with one language.

Cool fact!But it's not the only writing system specially adapted to an African language. Another example is the Vai syllabary: https://omniglot.com/writing/vaisyllabary.htm

The #writingsystem for my new #conlang
Not sure there's a real-world lang using something like this, so rn I call it a "relative #abjad" bc instead of writing characters to represent sounds, each sound corresponds to a position on a slanted grid, so strokes you make actually mark the relationship between consonants. Each grid makes a single word
This says "A Tinus bib ti'as kiham bib kmam," spelled "X TNS BBB T'S KHM BBB KMM," & means "'The One speaks then I speak also."

Thank you.
An if anyone wants to witness and gain inspiration of how a conscript develops in ~real time, you should watch @bbbourq's presentation:

For those of you who want a new perspective on creating a #writingsystem for your #conlang, I suggest looking at @tlacamazatl 's talk at this year's #LCC10. He gives some background on what might influence a writing system (i.e. geography, economics, political infrastructure et al). It has definitely given me ideas to chew on.

I have two conlangs:
#Lortho [ˈloɾ.tʰo], an Indo-Iranian-inspired agglutinating language with #VSO word order and 10 grammatical cases. I created a LTR, horizontal #writingsystem that is used solely to write Lortho inspired by Tibetan, Devanagari, and Tengwar.
#Dhakhsh [ðæxɕ], a Germanic-inspired analytic language with #SOV word order. I created a vertical, top-to-bottom, RTL writing system used solely to write Dhakhsh inspired by Mongolian, Pahlavi, and Avestan.
-
I forgot to mention that this was achieved over a four-year period.

I am currently writing a guide on how to create and evolve one's writing system.
