Where Do Alternate Orthography Games Belong?
Where Do Alternate Orthography Games Belong?
Basically, for funzies, i've been trying to see what "reformed" or "[otherlanguage]-ized" spelling. Orthography, as somebody who hates going outside and has difficulty to talking to people no matter how extroverted i feel; is mondo interesting to me, and i've always been interested in written word semantics, pictographs/ signs, and audio recordings used in lieu of talking in person. Yes, I know languages primarily work by being communicated in person, whether spoken or signed. I consider orthography and signage something of arts or beuty in of themselves, no matter how practical the concepts are. So i'd like to showcase some alt-orthographies and visual symbols for languages, without the pretense of people thinking i intend any of them to catch on.
By the by, the only languages i personally think need some remote spelling overhaul are English and Manx Gaelic. However, i'd rather have alternatives than straight-up prescriptivism for even them. English and Manx are very inconsistent spelling-wise, but i get I'm not a speaker of Manx or knowledgeable about all native English dialects.

I think you're pretty safe with that on here! I for one am happy to entertain conlinguistic ideas without regard for real-world feasibility; similarly, it seems that most zbb users lean artlang rather than auxlang. (Doesn't hurt to clarify your position every so often though)
As a topic, I'd say it's best kept to a single thread. I look forward to seeing what you post

Itโs Deseret, one of many attempts at English spelling reform. According to http://2deseret.com/, it means โI think English needs more than a remote spelling reformโ. (I would have preferred to translate it by hand from the Wikipedia table, but I donโt have enough time to do so right now. Iโd appreciate it if someone else could double-check the websiteโs translation!)TomHChappell wrote: โMon Aug 12, 2019 1:44 am???Nortaneous wrote: โSun Aug 11, 2019 8:58 pm ๐ด ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐จ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ ๐ฉ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ๐ป ๐ ๐น๐ฏ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ซ๐๐ (^:

Have you seen the Romanization challenge thread?
Re: Where Do Alternate Orthography Games Belong?
Nah, and the conditions for this site re:necroposting came off a bit unclear and i didn't want to annoy anyone by doing it. Also the thread seems more like a game then the idea i had in mind (in spite of the title i gave). I just wanted to post alternate orthographies.

I'll post some alternate orthographies in another thread. Thanks for the info, yall.

Rule of thumb: the megathreads that aren't a project or a question are okay to necro (well except the census and old political discussions)
รฌtsanso, God In The Mountain, may our names inspire the deepest feelings of fear in urkos and all his ilk, for we have saved another man from his lies! I welcome back to the feast hall kal, who will never gamble again! May the eleven gods bless him!
