what language does this look like?

Post Reply New Topic

what real world language you can think of, that this most immediately resembles or reminds you of?

My immediate thought was Arabic, but I doubt that’s more than superficial resemblance of a few character forms.

here's another one.

the first image is a six word phrase "ęll del pe le zir sha" [ɛ̃l del pe le zø ʃa] written over and over again.

I like to think it is Kiptonian.

Shorthand.

The page in Darmok's post is just American shorthand- I am 90 percent sure.

But your thing looks like what you said. It looks like Arabic script, but written left-to-right the way we Westerners write our alphabet, rather than right-to-left the way both Arabic, and Hebrew, are supposed to be written.

It's shorthand.

On the 1st OP pic, with the way I would've compared it to real writing system would be a very rushed cursive Roman alphabet -- or, say, very much like a typical doctor's handwriting.

2nd OP/3rd post pic, I'd compare it to a conlang mix between some Hindu and something less curvy -- probably some runes, maybe.



Not a Westerner here, yet my primary alphabet is pretty much Roman alphabet. Or maybe because I just can recognize that it's not Arabic or even close at first glance.

It's some cursive... dots between syllabes make me think of Tibetan or other Brahmic script but I don't see much similarity in letters themselves.
Though, cursives can be quite different from the "official" forms of letters.

thanks for feedback


the dots are between words, there is no intra-syllable marking. there are 28 "letters" with 4 unique forms each depending on location in word (isolated, middle, initial, final) plus ligatures totaling 177 unique forms.


what repeated or common shapes or forms can you guys make out?

If the first picture is indeed "ęll del pe le zir sha", then Arabic letters of ل for L, د for D, probably ر for R would fit.
However, I know no script derived from Arabic that would be written left-to-right.
