Learning Akaw! - Lesson 1 (Writing)

[@4utummm]

legend says hes still writing part 2 to this very day.

[@Rasyader]

I'm pretty sure /ps/ and /psh/ aren't real affricates, rather they're consonant clusters. Also, wouldn't the writing system be very ambiguous when writing quickly? Those letters are pretty hard to differentiate. Very interesting, though, still.

My biggest qualm with the old phonology. I'll be uploading a video of Nonoka (Akaw but way simpler) in time!

Great writing system, I just have one recommendation. If this is supposed to be ancient writing, it would be pretty hard to read because it would be really hard to tell the difference if you probably didn’t have lined paper.....

[@sgab]

I think this language sounds very interesting and the orthography is beautiful (but a little bit ambiguous)! I can’t wait to learn more!

[@diogocoimbra8445]

My writing system is based on phonetic too! But your ws is so interesting, creative and with a good aesthetic!

The sound at 2:15 should be written /ja/ . /y/ is a vowel, the rounded closed front vowel to be specific, the pronounciation is that of French "u" or German "ü".
Oh, and some of the later vowels were pretty weird, too.

Awesome , that's all I have to say .

[@hashimbokhamseen7877]

this writing system is an insult to human creativity

[@petroglyph888mcgregor2]

That writing system is quite intuitive. Seriously, I wish I had come up with that. Honestly, back when I was about 14, I came up with a shorthand system that LOOKED a lot like that, but it had ZERO of the logic to it. Yours is logically patterned, with justifiable deviation(s). (I'm only at the 2:14 mark)

[@frank_calvert]

Why did you write so much non phonetic stuff in ipa slashes?

[@soton4010]

So you have a fetueal abugida which is cool
