Enkidukai Language/Writing System
This is a testing writing system and is in development.
Structure
The Enkien Writing system is read from top to bottom, then left to right. Each symbol consists of three subsymbols: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant, which are arranged vertically. The initial and final characters are attached to the vowel at their lowest or highest point, respectively.
To the right are are the symbols for the alphabet, arrange into three tables by sound and position.
Also note that L and R are pronounced differently depending on case and position in word (Like preceding or acceding vowel, beginning of word, end of word, etc.) and therefore use the same symbol (Shown here with a simple 'L')
Consonants can also be stacked from left to right in the order they are said - an example of this is below, for clarity.
The consonant 'RR' simply is used as a different symbol in vowel form.
Punctuation
To the left are the five main symbols of Enkien punctuation. They are the question marker, word spacer, sentence end marker, exclamation marker, and roar marker.
The Question Marker is placed to the right of the entire sentence in question. In the examples below, the example of this is "Tapho bufte'ngo?" It is the equivalent of the english question mark [?].
The Word spacer is placed between the symbol ending one word and beginning another - equivalent to a space - this is visible in the examples below.
The Sentence End Marker is equivalent to a period, marking the end of one sentence and the beginning of another.
The Exclamation Marker is equivalent to the exclamation point [!], placed just like the Question Marker.
The Roar Marker is placed to the direct right of the roared symbol in a word - the equivalent of this is doubling a vowel.
Examples
To the right are some examples of Enkien text with their translations.
Numbers
One thing to note is that enkis have no symbol for zero.
