The language of the phoenix...

[smartboyathome]

I was wanting to figure out some language for the phoenix since Nakuokami is an Eclipse Wolf which has a phoenix form. Since Eclipse wolves are both wolf and Phoenix, they can speak both tongues in either form. I know Eclipse wolves aren't mine and such, I just thought it would be interesting to do something like this.

Anyway, I was lazy, and the "language" is actually just garbled english with a font modeled after the moon writing fonts in The Hobbit, found on dafont (I didn't feel like making my own, sorry ). Here is the table of English > Phoenix Basic > Phoenix Standard (top is English, middle is Phoenix basic, bottom is Phoenix Standard):
And here is the table of Phoenix basic (using English letters) to Phoenix standard form:

a

b

c

d

e

f

g

h

i

j

k

l

m

n

o

p

q

r

s

t

u

v

w

x

y

z

For example, Nakuokami's name, translated into Phoenix Standard, would be:


I hope to have a script up on my site which generates the image code for it soon.

I finally got the custom phoenix "translator" working. You can use it at:
smartboyssite.net/phoenix-translator.php
It generates both HTML and BBCode, and shows a preview. Just click at the very beginning, then use shift+end to select the code, and control+c to copy it. Here is an example of one I did using the "translator":

Note that it only translates letters, not numbers or symbols. That is because the alphabet doesn't have any symbols for these (possibly yet, I may make some in the future).

Yup, and I finally got it working

in my comp illustration class we made fonts and mine were all runes that I invented, I'll have to post them for you to see. I am currently working a alphabet that is all phonic so when I am done there will be 44 different characters.

Ok, I think I will be redoing the letters for the language. Before it was all Moon runes, scrambled. Now, thanks to Nahash, I used phonic letters. You can see the first draft here. What do you guys think? I was able to narrow down the language to nine vowels, and 23 constants. I am unsure of the design, I ran out of ideas and just copied and rotated other letters. :S

here is the script I did for class. (please excuse the gray bar, the mac I use does not like screen caps)


and here is a slightly touched of example
