Yay, conscripts! Very Happy

This is Halm, the writing for Hemnalg. Honestly, I stared at the symbols I'd already come up with for at least a week, just wondering and wondering "what the heck do they mean?!?!"!!! And then it came to me today that I knew it all along, so I quickly attempted to put it together.

Here you go: http://s627.photobucket.com/albums/tt351/achemel/?action=view&current=halmcomplete.jpg

Could someone please help me figure out how to get the image to show up here, without forcing you to click on the link? That would be fantastic. Wink


As for how it works, it really can be written in just about any direction - also the consonants can be flipped horizontally to make them fit together better but NOT vertically because then the letter changes. You begin reading at the "core" of a syllable, which is then surrounded by the vowel, and in the case of /l/ as shown here ( http://s627.photobucket.com/albums/tt351/achemel/?action=view&current=halm2.jpg ) you can place it to form an initial consonant cluster. /h/ has two forms because of its use before /f v t/ to spell their respective IPA partners [f v t], normally [v f c] when unaccompanied by the /h/ in writing.

Ummm... that's pretty much it... Oh, /t/ also has an extra letter form, for when it follows fricatives and is pronounced [t], but it also can be used as a sort of shorthand/shortcut, or even in combination with the extra letter /h/ in the case that both precede another consonant in whatever cluster that might happen to be.

I'll have time to myself on Thursday, so hopefully then I can post more examples and maybe script for the Robert Frost poem and Tower of Babel translations.

Woah.

Very futuristic looking. Awesome! Definitely looking forward to an example passage.

So from what I can tell it kind of works like Korean (the whole building syllables out of smaller parts thing), am I right?

It looks very pretty, but how practical is it to write?

What imdamoos said - it does look pretty Smile but it looks complicated, especially ordering the letters. It looks interesting though - I can't wait to see the translations Very Happy It could be really good for artwork?

^_^ This script looks really interesting, and the combination of letters seems complicated but I'm sure that with practice it should be easier. It reminds me of crop circles to a certain extent and it would be great to see more examples. =D

It looks good but a bit complicated maybe some conworlders would make a simplified / cursive version later on.

Oo, thanks for your comments! Very Happy

I really thought I'd be able to get back to this by Thursday but then I got called in to work... Evil or Very Mad Though I suppose that's a good thing, haha.

Ennyhoo.

Well, now that you mention it I guess it is rather Korean-ish. However, instead of ordering letters in nice L-R-down clusters, it's more center-up/down-right or -left and possibly -down/up again. Also the verb tenses have their own characters, except for irregulars and colloquial forms, which are written out.

Hmm, I guess it is rather, just looking at it. Wink Though, just as with any language, a little practice makes it a lot easier. I will admit it is WAY harder copying and pasting those letters than actually writing them out - the Tower of Babel bit took me all week: http://s627.photobucket.com/albums/tt351/achemel/?action=view&current=halmbabel.jpg (pardon the incredibly small size of the image... can anyone help me figure out how to just post the image here?)

Yes, there is a simpler way of writing the letters, though basic structure and word-building is the same: the consonant/vowel carrier core with a vowel around it or another consonant beside it and a vowel around that etc. The letters are just much less complex-looking. When I've written it out (likely not in Paint this time) I'll be sure to add it here.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
In Hangeul, the consonants are in the left three-fifths and the vowel is in the right two-fifths, right?
The top half of the left three-fifths is the onset, correct?
The bottom half of the left three-fifths is the coda, correct?
The bottom three-fourths of the right two-fifths is the vowel, correct?
The top one-fourth of the right two-fifths is the tone, correct?
So that's not really top-down nor bottom-up nor left-right nor rignt-left.
Or were you talking about how syllable-block characters are arranged in a line, rather than how pieces of a character are arranged in a syllable-block?

Honestly I don't know that much about Hangeul, though a good friend of mine has become practically fluent in it... *jealous* I thought it rather depended on how much was in a syllable in the first place: example, Hangeul itself is han.geul 한 글 right? So /h/ is in the L-top and /a/ in the R-top, then /n/ all along the bottom, but then /k/ /1/ /l/ all in a vertical row in the next syllable. I couldn't come up with a syllable with 4 letters in it off the top of my head, but I'm sure I wouldn't be able to read it if I saw one. Confused

As for Halm, I suppose I meant more that it goes in a line, though really the vowels are positioned over the consonant which precedes them, as consonants generally are the onset, except when there isn't one and technically the onset is a glottal stop (and actually, in many of the areas surrounding Usjytt, the glottal stop is recognized as a phoneme). It is possible to stack some letters - for example, the combination /ck/ can be written with /k/ beginning from the hook on /c/, or just in line next to it, or even as /c/ with the hook extending down as well as up, so it looks like a sideways T. Did I answer the question? I think I lost myself somewhat. Rolling Eyes

Quite a pickle. Rolling Eyes I'll have to find a good example of Halm in a spiral - try reading that! Haha.

Is it because it's a .png?? What I had before was a .jpg and it refused to work. Confused At any rate, thanks! I'll have to try that next time I put up an image.

No, it's jpg. Maybe you didn't retrieved the correct address? If you right-click on the picture on the page that you linked to, and then check "preferences", then you only get the address to the transparent image that they have placed in front of the real image as a copy protection. So I looked at the source code. Maybe you did it too, and if you wrote them manually then you might have typed the wrong domain, your original links use s627.photobucket.com, while the actual images use i627.photobucket.com.

That's not the link to the picture, but a link to a dynamic web page containing the picture.

http://s627.photobucket.com/albums/tt351/achemel/?action=view&current=halm2.jpg <- dynamic web page
http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt351/achemel/halm2.jpg <- picture

[img] [/img] requires the link to the image file directly.

OHHHHHH! I see! Then, how do I get it to be just the picture when it's online and automatically doesn't work (for me, apparently)? Should I just remember the "dynamic web page" bit in there and get rid of it before posting the link between img brackets, or will that mess it up?
