Chickendude, that could certainly work for shorthand lettering of the numbers. (And resembles what I was originally thinking of the look of numbers themselves)

This is very interesting!  I think it'd be cool if you included a couple of non-English vowel sounds, but it's awesome the way it is as well

I would certainly be open to adding non-English vowels, except I really don't know any If I knew how they sound, then I could create a symbol for them easily.

I was having fun with the calligraphic pen in inkscape

Also can I use your language in my game?

Sure. If you go with the actual symbols and everything, you may want to have text with them loaded as an image though since there can be so many combinations of symbols.

I'll be sure to fill in some more of the lexicon and get an actual numbering system down. It'll be base 16, it's just how to represent numbers that I need to figure out.

I've always been interested in inventing my own spoken/written language. Here lately I've actually been making some progress towards my first useable language that will be used for a hypothetical race/culture to be used in future games I make (The Kakrii race). The language is meant to be harsh sounding, thus it makes use of k/ch/sh/z sounds.

So far I have the written portion, basic grammar rules/syntax, and some words figured out.

Here is a guide for the written language:



Here's an example of a basic sentence:



The grammar tends to go as: [Question][Tense][Subject_1(Who/what is doing the action)][Subject_2(Who/what is receiving the action)][Action/Verb][Adjective]

This is still in progress, I don't know much about grammar rules.

Certain kinds of words always have a prefix of sorts.

Nouns always start with:

Ka - Physical
Ke - Conceptual
Ki - Nonexistent

Note: THis language does not distictuate between gender. All words are used gender neutral. What the language does do, however, is distictuate between if it exists, does not exists, or exists theoretically.

Verbs always start with:

Ch

Sh - Question

Kr - Adjective

Ra - Future tense
Ri - Past tense
Ro - Present tense (Used when you want to explicitly show present tense)

So far, that's about the extent of what I have. What I want to figure out next is the numbering system. I want it to be base 16, however I want a written form that's more efficient than the symbolic method we use as well as more compact and allows for mathematical concepts to be more intuitive. After that I just need to fill out the lexicon and grammar rules.

Words I have so far:

Kai - I/Me/Mine
Kao - You/Yours
Kas - Other

Check - Perform upon

Chakas - Speak

Kekaskak - Language

Kezech - Bonding (Best equivalent word would be marriage)
Chazech - Best equivalency would be "To love" (There is no word for Love since the race this language is developed for does not experience this emotion, but they do have something similar)

Chernas - Hello

So that's more or less what I have so far. Anyone have any suggestions for the numbering system? What do you guys think?

For Homer, expect anything having to do with catgirls or Taokaka/Torakaka ^u^

Pretty much

Homer sure loves Taokaka.

Hehe, I have an entire DA folder in dedication

I don't have a problem... Not at all
