Re: idea for writing system
Thankfully, most "natural" writing systems don't account for the
non-phonetic pragmatic or semantic differences between
thinking
and
thinkin'
aside from the quasi-modern . ? !
Wouldn't it be a beast if this writing system had no word spaces? Something
we so love to associate with "modernity" and "progress". Besides, such
regular suffixes appear to make Klingon language a good canidate for such a
system. I think it's fair to say that most writing systems that have ever
existed haven't used spaces or word-breaking characters. Or punctuation.
I'm glad to have so many people's insights and leads. I suspect that this
project would include a number of years in which occaisional updates and my
improved Klingon would be the only life-signs.
