All right, here we go with an alphabet PDF! The hardest part of this was the IPA stuff, and some of it may not be right, but I tried. Unfortunately any of the parts where I describe how a thing is pronounced is entirely based on American English pronunciations, and Californian ones at that. Which is why I tried IPA, but that is also kind of biased towards my own pronunciation. I tried! Vowels will probably be the least accurate since that's really what changes most accents.I may make the font files for both alphabets (since both of them are just regular .ttf) available, if there's interest in that. They would come with font keys on how to type them.This is the PDF meant to go with the last Skiagraphia chapter; there will be a second one this month to go with the upcoming Tenebrism chapter (the last one!). As always, I take suggestions for PDF content.

Very impressive! I like how sophisticated this evolution of mjada is; I don't remember if you touched upon the subject in the books (I haven't read the last Skiagraphia chapter, though), but the story behind that is revealing. In fact, I was always curious about the roots of their conflict before "separation" and it's super cool that it is reflected in the language as well. And I ended up trying to write names/things, which is challenging and I fail terribly but it's enjoyable :)

It's funny that I actually had to back-evolve it since I created the mjada alphabet first, but somehow it still worked out! The history of the two races gets touched on in little brief hints here and there; it'll be much more in focus in upcoming chapters of Skiagraphia. And I have a backstory story I want to write someday which would be entirely about it. It's easier to write than type! Especially the oenclar alphabet, which uses every special character possible to put the vowels in their right quadrants. And it all has to be typed backwards~
