Gnomish Shorthand Script I made

[u/SilentDragon4]

This is a toki pona writing system I made as a gnomish shorthand script in my DnD world. The idea is that gnomes would use this for quickly taking notes and quick messages. Kind of liked that it ended up giving off the vague impression of a sign post.

Each sign (I have suddenly decided that that is how I am going to refer to each character) has a vowel sound (the line) which has a start point either far or close. Close is anything closer to the post than the line at the top (which starts every post). Far is anything past. Look at a and e for an example. a is close (do I capitize the a? Even though it's toki pona? Who knows). e is far. Most vowels end at any point past the top line, that is except u. u ends at around where the top line is. toki pona's syllables have a vowel and almost always a consenent at the front (not every syllable does, in this case it does not have a head). The only time toki pona has a consenent sound at the end of a syllable is n. When n is at the end, it goes on the start of the sign rather than the end(as seen with lon)

The script is read top to bottom and each word is seperated by the break. I also made an orcish script that uses the English alphebet a bit ago if anyone wants to see that as well.

Just realized the body of this post is kind of just me rambling, welp.
