Latheb - The upper left-hand group of symbols are stops (the rows are, from top to bottom: velar (k sounds), palatal (ch sounds), retroflex (t sounds, put the tip of the tongue against the roof in the mouth, quite far back, the resulting sound should be similar to Englist t in 'true'), dental (t sounds, but for these sounds, the tip of the tongue should be put at the upper teeth (as with English th)), bilabial (p sounds). The last four symbols of the first row in the upper right-hand group are: voiceless lateral fricative (Welsh 'll'); velarized 'l' (English dark 'l' as in 'all'); w; the first sound of English 'write' (note that R is trilled, as in Italian). The symbols in the third row are Semitic: voiceless pharyngeal, voiced pharyngeal, voiceless uvular (a throaty 'k' sound). The last, rectangular, symbol stands for No Sound; it is used when a word begins with a vowel, or, as in the chart, to show where the vowels are to be written, relative to the ! consonants.
Leaf - Barry wrote, "Anyone who has no idea what it is would never think it was a writing system. Written out it just looks like simplified leaf shapes with holes in them. The point of the script is to not write it linearly (well with everything lined up perfectly), but to make it look like the glyphs are blowing, and falling in the wind (I have other drawings of this I need to take photos of), and I usually use curving spirally lines to indicate movement."

Lemurian cursives - The Lemurian cursives are the writing systems used by the speakers of Lemurian (or trailún lemuriarè), the ceremonial language of the micronation of Lemuria. The angular is used for important and official documents, the vulgar is used for day to day writing.
Link - The author writes, "The link alphabet consists of four vowel sounds, an aspirant/shwa, and twelve consonants, for a total of 17 letters."
Lipnorian - The character style on the picture comes from a typeface/font style called Frankfurter. The vowels are built up scientifically.
Logiscript - Logiscript is for writing Lori, a constructed language still under development. Logiscript is designed to be a regular, unchanging script. It is neither an alphabet or abugida, because while it does have characters for consonants and vowels, independent vowels (not attached to consonants) must be preceded by a vowel marker. Otherwise, if a consonant-vowel pair is written, the vowel is added to the tail of the consonant.
Loudanian
Lûá - Lûá script is designed so that the consonant, being pictographic in nature, provides a visual cue for the meaning of the word. Consonants belonging to the same element are similar to each other in form. Vowel graphemes are designed to visually reinforce vowel harmony.
