Northern Griffin Script - Conlang Profile	Advanced
Language Name Northern Griffin Script Language Author Zylom Year Began 1997 Site Northern Griffin Script Broken Link No Site Language English Site Author Zylom Language Type fictional diachronic language Uniqueness It has a beautiful system of cursive writing, if I ever get my scanner working I'll post some samples on my webpage, which does post a TrueType font. It has a lot of little words, but it sometimes turns out longer than English because you have to link the words together. It's a descendent of a root language from when I was 11 or so, but only the writing remains of that, and I can only classify a few of the characters, which means I only know 2 sound characters from the old one. And it has several sister languages, the details of which are written down, but not on my computer yet. Language Sources Well, it's not really inspired by it, but it sometimes sounds like Arabic and sometimes French, depending on if it's a hard word with a lot of consonants, where you need to fill in the vowels, or if it's a soft word with a lot of vowels. I used a spelling word list of about 500 words to come up with the lexicon, and those are the only words online now, but I have a lot more written down in my blue notebook. (Which is where I keep all my linguistics research, and then I use the Green one to practice writing them in and stuff.) Interest Of Others Well, not on the Internet, but 3 people at my church have shown much interest in learning the writing system, and at least one of them also wants to learn the whole language. Speaking of which, the writing's quite well adapted to transliterate from English, the exception being the lack of a written (though not spoken) schwa.
