Hey,

Aert underwent another orthography change, and I thought it might be fun to see what's happened to it since I started.



What's happened to yours? I look forward to seeing the histories!

Umm, I know this has been brought up before, and maybe you're well-aware of it; but, just in case:

You are aware, aren't you, that the "orthography" of a language is its native script? So the "orthography" of a conlang would be its neography ("conscript")?

When we try to write the language using an alphabet based on the Roman alphabet rather than in its native script, that's called a "romanization" rather than an "orthography".

If your 'lang's (Aert's) conscript is based on the Roman alphabet then it doesn't need romanization; and you have correctly used the word "orthography". Is that the case? It looks like it could be.

Or, your 'lang's orthography could be based on any other natscript; futhorc runes, bopomofo, the Greek or Hebrew or Cyrillic alphabets, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for my conlang; it has been conceived, but it is still gestating. Once it is born its history can begin; it hasn't yet.

Mine's generally stayed the same. I've had some experiments with <j> for /j/ instead of <y> (to avoid confusion with /y/), but then I remembered diacritics.

Yeah, technically Aert doesn't have a native script yet, so I'm using the 'romanization' for the orthography. (Much easier to type on the computer Wink )
