Forum:Orthography

For all who make their own orthography, what style do you choose and why? ?? The Emperor Zelos 21:45, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Abugida
 * Alphabet
 * Abjad
 * Syllabry
 * Logographic

I don't go with the general distinction, I make an ortography that looks good to me, heh.

Although I do like making a mix between abjad, abugida and alphabet, I sometimes invent a new style, like morphological + root-based or simmilar idiocy (that actually can work) Rostov-na-don 10:17, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

You can only divide it up into those XD You can have several systems co-exist though like in Japan The Emperor Zelos 14:05, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

I suppose. Though in my case, I technically have an alphabet which has a cursive mode that is closer to Abjad [Consonants connect and vowels are added after either in superscript or subscript but subordinate to the vowels]. Presumably there could also be Logographic aspects to orthographies, as with the ampersand but taken to a more radical degree where various symbols represent numberous common & short words, not a true Logography but I'd hesistate to call it an alphabet if it had enough symbols. Combinations then, to one degree or another, would probably have to be considered common.
