About Cl-375a
cl-375a is the placeholder name until I know enough to name the language with itself.
Goals:
Writing system that has some of the visual etymology of Chinese and the pictographic feel, but is also fully phonetic
Each letter has specific semantic content, and each word's etymology is preserved in it's spelling (although perhaps not fully)
Noun-only (unless I change my mind). I'm starting to suspect that by the time I make a noun-only system usable it won't really look much different from a language with regular parts of speech, but we'll see
Make it efficient, systematic, practical, easy to use, with hopefully not-too-long words
Make a video game which teaches players the language and then connects them with other players so they can actually use it, and allow them to expand the dictionary as needed
Super stretch goal: make it optionally syntacticly logical/unambiguous
