This is a syllabary, where vowels are attached directly to their consonantal onset. Like my SIGIL scripts and others in the Phonological Cyphers series, glyphs are assembled in a regular manner from phonetic components. The basis for the font used here is bold Times New Roman, severely hacked about.
Consonants
On the left side of a full syllabic glyph (CV) is a consonantal onset. These are the base forms, relating to phonemic regions, and representing voiced plosives plus a few semi-consonantal phonemes. The last is a null, for use with solo vowels (see below).
To a consonantal base may be added a modifier, to effect devoicing and/or frication, or to make a nasal:
The glyph for /z/ is formed specially and derived from the /d/ glyph. Here are the main sibilants:
Vowels
On the right side of a full syllabic glyph is a single vowel. Roundedness is indicated by a stroke on the lower half. For final consonants, the “no vowel” sub-glyph is attached. For the second vowel of a diphthong, a final /j/ or /w/ may be used (as seen in the script name at the top of the page), or one of these vowels may be attached to a null-consonant.
Sample text
This is the Shakespeare transliteration again, the first line of his 18th Sonnet.
