Menu 1. Script 2. Diphthongs 3. Miscellaneous Have not been very active but was looking here and realized I never really included any info about the script.
It's one of my fave I've made, too, personally. I think it's pretty.

It should all be coded correctly so that the romanized orthography is fully functional on CWS. But there are also details I just don't remember and I'm not sure where my original notes are... whoops.

[edit] [top]Diphthongs

There are diphthongs but it's been so long I forgot how to write them and I straight up have no idea where my paper notes are where i initially designed the shapes.
Like, I think it's just generally written as it would be written but I don't have it coded properly to make something like "wāi" work
wāi
Like I'm 90% sure that's wrong...
let's switch to wai
wai
hm nope lol
ai
Ai
see that looks nice but it could get a little hairy on some words and more importantly... I don't think i have the top vowels coded separately.... or if I do I never wrote down how it works, so i don't have a way to type it onto consonants XD instead it just does the overlapping like in the previous one.
AI
I assume it must be this ^ which i had to type as "AI"
So "wāi" must be (wā + i or, as i typed it, "wI")
wI
However, aesthetically, I definitely prefer the idea of the second vowel in the diphthong being placed above the character. (Of course, that wouldn't work for standalone vowel-vowel stuff... it would be the opposite... so.... nevermind)

There are a lot of possible diphthongs.

[edit] [top]Miscellaneous

Vowel killer ` `
Names >< (.....oops that don't work....)
Title (includes website names) [] [X]
Section/paragraph start { {X
Emphatics *X* ͻXͻ wait this doesn't make sense, that's the same as one of the vowels... did i.... make a mistake.... oo;
End of text } X}
Phrase connector ; , ;X (not sure what this is actually for)
Double consonant = w= (gemination)
Oh plus normal punctuation like . X.
Do not know if there are quotation marks. I really ought to have written this all down when I first did it. or at least scanned my notebook. wherever that is.

The numeral 10 is mapped to 0. There is no numeral zero, it is an abbr. of "nothing."
1234567890

Use CAPITAL LETTERS for the standalone vowel forms.
(but NOT for consonants)

Left to Right I think. I think originally I meant it to be R>L but that changed.

GMA is what else but... an abugida/alphasyllabary depending on... how you present it. I have particular tastes.
The vowel "a" is inherent.
Thus the vowel killer for if a lone consonant is desired.
