Tharir Script

[u/normaleek]

Tharir – the fictional language I've been working on for the last few months. My main inspirations were Semitic languages, like Hebrew and Arabic. As you can see, the script follows almost the same rules as in these languages:

• It's written from right to left

• The letters in the alphabet are consonants. There are 20 consonants and 1 sound carrier

• The diacritics are written on top of the consonants

The first sentence:

"Lau diranotira vudraalato edoynawilau"

"We will bring peace to the people"

The second sentence:

"Vathnaka hareg bergathato koyros"

"My friend goes to a town"

Let me know if you liked the language or if you have any suggestions :)

[u/ElasAjan]

Are the vowels represented by letters like in English or by diacritics like in Hebrew? And I noticed some letters are inclined, and I suggest you make them inclinet to the left, since the writing system is right-to-left. Is there a cursive version on the horizon?

[u/normaleek → u/ElasAjan]

I actually designed each letter to fit inside a 100x100 mm box, so the shape and size will keep consistent. And I took inspiration from Hebrew for the letters to be mostly upright, not inclined. When it comes to vowels, as you can see these symbols at the bottom of the alphabet are diacritics that are put on top of consonants, which is very similar to Arabic vowel system.
