Description
So, as I mentioned in my Journal a little while back I've changed and edited much of my conlang script, so here's a sample of it. I apologise, it's supposed to be straight up and down but it goes on a slight lean, I need paper with vertical lines as well as horizontal to make it more ordered and formal.

This sample is Article One of the Declaration of Human Rights .

The script reads from top right, down. Written in Kashaan-Ranqa or the "Scholars Dialect" and so is considered to have "perfect" grammar and spelling. Needless to say this is version 6 or 7 so I put a lot of work into it and it's still not perfect. There is a "Common" dialect script version, which, I'll look at doing next for a comparison, reads left to right.. and quite honestly isn't nearly as pretty to look at.

For those linguists out there, Ranqa is an Abugida language. This makes it very different to deal with than English.

Also, as a final note this is my first "conlang".. I'm not sure if it's strictly a conlang as it also has a great deal of spiritual aspects to its source.. as in I didn't make up sections of it.. it just.. sort of.. existed and that's how it just is. But, aside from three letters and the basic vowel diacritic system, I did artificially construct the script in a "hey, this looks cool I'll keep it" manner. So, strictly speaking this is definitely at least a con-script.

...translation and phonetics to follow...

EDIT: translation/transliteration

"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights."

"Bamaan" (all peoples)
"eta / kanaan-a-repa" (at the beginning of their life journey, are of freedom)
"sian" (respect/dignity/social standing - closest word is the Maori word "mana")
"ko" (and/also)
"sheh-sha." (like "rights", but closer to the hindi word "dharma")

"They are endowed with reason and conscience, and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

"Bamaan" (all peoples)
"Hceta (possessiveness/possess )
eeset (ability reason/logic/to think beyond instinct)
eemen" (ability to feel/have empathy for others/compassion)
"asa" (therefore)
"eebena-a-eebana" (each person reflected in each other - meaning they are the same and can/do recognise this sameness)
"apaat" (manner/behaviour - meaning this knowledge manifests in behaviour)
